Yes. My typical work flow with mutt is something like 'open patch mail ;
 | dim apply... ; open reply mail with tag(s) ; | dim extract...'. 
Or if someone has r-b'd an entire series I apply everything first,
and then do 'dim extract... <remote>/drm-intel-next-queued..HEAD' to
slap the tag(s) onto all the commits.
