Explicit is better than implicit.  I've been thinking to document this
in our contributing section; e.g. a reviewed commit must have the 'LGTM'
from the reviewer.  If a series is LGTM, it needs to be implicitly
mentioned with 'this series LGTM'.  That may sound silly, but I think
it'd simplify reviewer/submitters interactions.
