Subject: b4 review workflow issue with partially accepted serieses

Hi Konstantin,

b4 review tracks the state of a series at the top level.  This gets
confused if you partially accept a series (eg, taking fixes at the start
of a bigger series that needs more work) then the state gets confused.
The bits that are accepted trigger the applied->thanks->archive flow
but that means that new versions of the series can't be ingested even
after the series is archived.  This is a pretty severe workflow problem,
there should be a way of splitting serieses and/or retrieving them from
the thanked/archived states to reviewing.

Thanks,
Mark
