mailing list archives are nowhere near as easy for me to perform partch
archaeology on.

Sure. And you could do that via a branch that was up to date with both
patch branches. 

    HEAD
    /  \
  p1    p2
    \  /
     p3

where p3 shows the merged patch, and p1 and p2 are the isolated
changesets.

Thats fine. I'm happy as long as I get single-change patches.
