You are right.  When I started contributing I actually did attach all
patches in one email.  I wonder why we stopped doing that.

I’ll say that many of my gripes with (the GNU instance of) Debbugs are
due to the fact that we can’t customize it to better suit our needs — it
is a shared resource with a complicated maintenance story.  So all
changes went into Mumi as crude workarounds.  I think this is a dead end
and we’d be better off leaving the shared GNU instance of Debbugs
behind.
