Hi Shannon,

I think I understand what Greg would like:

Send an e-mail like a cover letter to a patch series, listing the
upstream commits to be applied (all of them), and then each patch in
an e-mail, with clear comments in each patch which has been modified
(backported) from its original commit with an explanation of why
changes were necessary.

Makes sense?

Thanks,
