Sounds good.

On closer inspection, in appears that the vast majority of the accepted patches have been marked as so. Although, this isn't the case for all of them. I'm guessing that if a maintainer fixes-up a patch himself (or herself) then the diffs of the patch sent to patches.linaro.org and the applied one will differ.

The real issue here; however, seems to be the lack of marking patches as invalid as they are superseded by fix-ups. The solution shouldn't be too difficult. If a patch is sent with exactly the same $SUBJECT line and has the same commiter, then any previous patch submissions should be marked as invalid or superseded, perhaps with a link to its successor.
