I suspect that having an option to keep the message ID in the footer (a bit like the "cherry-picked from" tag but instead "blongs to series") could possibly help. And when no such info is present we could have one ID generated per "git am" execution since usually if you apply an mbox, it constitutes a series (but not always of course, though it's not difficult to arrange series like this).
As I pointed out earlier, some of us are adding the message ID in the footer alrady, using a Link tag. This is even documented already in the Kernel Maintainer's Handbook, so I'm pretty sure it's not just me. :-)
Yeah, given Linus' rants about links pointing to patch posting, what I'm currently doing is that I add Message-ID: tag to the patch instead of a Link: tag. It preserves the information as well and it is obvious to human reader what are links to reports / discussions and what is just a link to patch posting.
