You need to fix patchwork to have some conception of a
patch series. Then you can just select the whole series
which is the pull request and say "ignore this" and you're
done. Any patch-handling tool that doesn't let you operate
at the level of a complete series is always going to mean
you're doing huge amounts of busywork sometimes.

I don't particularly object to suggesting that pullreq
patches are all tagged 'PULL'; I don't think it's very
likely that you'll get 100% consistency out of everybody
though.
