Reading the mailing list with a non-threads compatible
mail client agent would be made much easier if the
convention for subject lines for multi-part patches was
changed to the following:
patch set name [PATCH N/M] patch summary
Then sorting by subject would group all patches for the
Same patch set together.
I don't know if these Subject lines are hand generated, or if there
is software involved that would have to me modified for generating
and/or parsing them.
Comments?

A workaround is to sort by (1.) author + (2.) date. Should help in many
cases.

All of it is true.

There is at least a built-in command to akpm's patch management
scripts which genrates patch-bombs:

thus maybe its descendant "quilt" also does have
