If it makes no sense to apply some but not all of the patches, they should have 
been submitted as *one* bug.

If the patch for bug A makes a useful improvement by itself, the patch for bug 
B requires the patch for bug A and makes additional useful improvements, and 
the patch for bug C requires the patches for bugs A and B, then it's OK to 
submit them as separate bugs, but the bugs should specify the dependencies.

When the bug's status is changed to RESOLVED/FIXED.

You should mark patches for review.  You may see the patch *rejected*, with 
comments as to why it was rejected, in which case you should submit a new patch 
with the problems resolved and mark it for review.

The summary line can be edited.  The initial description and subsequent 
comments cannot be; the most you can do is make a comment saying "when I said 
XXX I meant YYY".
