Not everyone has a process which causes issues here (and even for me I'd only notice if the old thread was still in my inbox), but I certainly wouldn't be against it. Note that if you're trying to make everything super rules based you also need to cover the case of people trying to incrementally fix a series by sending new versions of patches in the middle of it which is an even worse mess.
