There is no way to make it work reliably the way you propose, so I strongly
suggest that we do it the way b4 currently works:

- a series can start with RFC in the prefixes to indicate that it's not
  something to be considered for inclusion
- when the author feels that the series is ready for maintainers'
  consideration, they simply drop the RFC and keep the same change-id and
  versioning info; e.g. [PATCH RFC v3] -> [PATCH v4]

Resetting the versioning requires resetting the change-id of the series, or a
lot of automation breaks.
