Agreed, this is interesting as is git-phab.

I would like to take a step back and talk about existing use-cases in
Phab.  People have talked a lot about linking revisions, patch series,
parent/child relationships and so on and I have to confess I am
struggling to understand the use-cases for these things.  Most of what I
do upstream is simple enough to accomplish with individual patch
submissions and reviews.  In some cases I have posted "mega-patches" for
context purposes but I'll admit that isn't a very good workflow as
things quickly get out of date.

I would like to understand better how people use Phab's advanced
features and why.  For example, what drives the need for patch series
and dependence relationships?  Some walk-through examples would be very
helpful.
