Hello Albert, Simon.

(Please correct me if I am wrong.)

In my understanding, "Series-" prefix implies that
the tag has an impact on the whole series.
For example, Series-to, Series-cc, Series-version, Series-prefix, etc.

If I am not misunderstanding, in this case 'Series-commit-notes' tag
adds a ratinale part to the only patch file which this tag is given to.

How about dropping 'Series-' prefix?
