+==== Auto-superseding series and archiving old patches ====
+The bot can do some basic housekeeping chores, such as automatically marking patches belonging to older versions of the series as "superseded." E.g. if a contributor sends "''[PATCH NN/30] Do foo to bar''", and then after that a new revision "''[PATCH NN/30 v2] Do foo to bar''", the bot can automatically mark the 30 patches belonging to the "''v1''" of the series as "superseded". In order to work, the following conditions must be met:
+- It must be submitted by the same person
+- It must have the exact same series name (first patch or cover letter subject wording)
+- It must be within the cutoff period of days specified. In other word, if the cutoff is 90 days and the new series comes in 4 months later, there will be no match
+Similarly, the bot can archive patches older than a certain period of time.
+==== Notifying submitters ====
+If you choose to notify submitters, it would send them a summary email per all patches marked as "Accepted" within one session, for example:
