A little-publicised and incorrectly-documented(!) feature of Patchwork
is that it supports some email headers. In particular, if you include an
"X-Patchwork-Hint: ignore" header, the mail will not be parsed by
Patchwork.

This will stop it being recorded as a patch. Unfortunately it will also
stop it being recorded as a comment - I don't know if that's an issue in
this case. Maybe we can set you up with Patchwork 2's new checks
infrastructure instead.
