See e.g. bug#48592 for an example of Robert's procedure (modulo amending
the commit messages with the bug number):

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=48592
https://yhetil.org/emacs-bugs/20210522202519.32549-1-jonas <at> bernoul.li/

GUIX documents this in more detail:

https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Sending-a-Patch-Series.html#Multiple-Patches-1

IIUC we have bug#15361 open to make debbugs understand this kind of
submission without this workaround.
