Currently for web users, I suggest:
curl $URL >tmpXXX
# open tmpXXXX and tag+copy to patchesXXX using MUA of choice:
# (also seems to be what Jeff describes):
mutt -f tmpXXX
git am patchesXXXX

Adding more links might still fall down in cases where
fixup/squash patches are sent for specific patches in a series;
or when a v{N+1} series is posted in-reply-to an existing
series.
Perhaps adding checkbox next to each item might work as a
select-to-include-in-mbox download form. However, I'm already
finding the lack of horizontal space disconcerting.
Maybe the YYYY-MM-DD could be shortened to YYYYMMDD. It would
be closer to the date searching syntax used by mairix, as well
as the search enhancement I started working on earlier today:

(still will deploy soonish)
