I just try to keep things in this state sufficiently briefly that it
doesn't become a problem. I also split things up into a bunch of branches,
rather than into a stack of patches, and only work on parallel development
before I've actually got a candidate for a series.

The extension I had proposed to stgit should work for this; it would let
you version control each patch just like other git projects. I just think
it wouldn't work so well before the group has agreed on what patches there
are.
