Under 'Web Interface':

"Download a patch set of all patches meeting a specific criteria (pass all
stand-alone and inter-dependent tests and have been acked for example)"

This could be an mbox file or an archive (.tgz) of patches

Revised version of existing patch
 - Remove existing patch from patch stack
 - Insert new patch into patch stack at same location as the removed patch
 - Run each configured static test against the patch
 - Run each configured dynamic test against the patch
 - Record the results of the static and dynamic tests against the patch

So yes, in place of the existing patch
