I suspect that having an option to keep the message ID in the footer (a
bit like the "cherry-picked from" tag but instead "blongs to series")
could possibly help. And when no such info is present we could have
one ID generated per "git am" execution since usually if you apply an
mbox, it constitutes a series (but not always of course, though it's
not difficult to arrange series like this).
