I just try to keep things in this state sufficiently briefly that it doesn't become a problem. I also split things up into a bunch of branches, rather than into a stack of patches, and only work on parallel development before I've actually got a candidate for a series.

The extension I had proposed to stgit should work for this; it would let you version control each patch just like other git projects. I just think it wouldn't work so well before the group has agreed on what patches there are.
