Hm, I don't know if this patch would affect that. If there are no
"Series-changes" tags, we just get nothing (vs. a bunch of "None"s).

In my opinion, I think we should report nothing. Of course, this patch
is entirely for aesthetics. It's perfectly valid to do one thing or
another. In my patches, I like to emulate what I would write if I was
doing it by hand.
