But the patch I've sent is rebased on master's HEAD.

My question is how to send the patch to the thread where it IMHO belongs
without patchtest trying to apply all the patches in the thread (if
that's what it meants by "series".

See:
https://patchwork.openembedded.org/series/9783/
the last patch isn't 3/3 from this series, it's just independent new fix for changes
introduced in this series (e-mail thread).

so it should apply only this one:
https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/146352/

I know this cannot be as clever as e.g. gerrit, but my question still
stands:
Do we need to send fixes for already merged changes as new e-mail
threads (replace In-reply-to: with maybe just a link to ML archive
in the commit message)?
