You can pass '--base master' or '--base=auto' to `git format-patch`
which adds a machine readable line to your patch or cover letter like
this:
base-commit: bc8198dc7ebc492ec3e9fa1617dcdfbe98e73b17
This way tools can find out which commit your series was based on.
See for reasoning:

I'll look into your patch series in February, after my holidays.
