It will be nice to provide the accumulate patches as well as the raw quilt
directory(the break out of the patches).

The the quilt directory is more for maintainer like you to manage the patches.
For people (e.g. me) want to contribute patches to you, most of the time I
don't really need the break out patches. I just need to import your bulk
patch as my baseline  and I use quilt maintain my patch above it.

I think you need a different series file for different projects. Cann't speak
for bigger patch sets. It works great for me for my smaller change set.
