I'm not sure this feature is generally useful. It would slow down quilt as a whole. Another issue is how to walk the tree (moving forward and backward), and into which series file to insert new patches. Do you have a case where creating one single series file really causes a significant amount of work? Patches usually don't combine in arbitrary orders anyway, so the different parts of the series file need to be put together very carefully anyway...
