Creating a branch with a Series-notes and running buildman on that branch results in a buildman error of the form "TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'list' objects". This "series" fixes that by initializing series.notes as an array, not a scalar. This is a single and short patch which would not normally require a Cover-letter (which you are reading now) and Series-notes (which you'll read soon), but I thought it quite elegant to test this patch with itself. And anyway I could not resist.
This patch was tested by actually including a Series-notes (you are reading it now) and therefore a Cover-letter (you have read it already) in the local commit containing this patch, running buildman on it to check that it does not break any more, then running patman on it to both test that patman does not break as it would have with v1 of the patch, and actually submit the patch.
Changes in v2: - fix typo in commit message ("rathen" -> "rather") - actually limit array initialization to series.notes
