You could have (and still could) made that a master issue with multiple 
dependencies.  Last summer, I merged at least 20 patches for one idlelib 
file.  I split them up among 1 master issue and about 6 dependency 
issues.  That was essential because most of the patches were written by 
one of 3 new contributors and needed separate discussions about the 
strategy for a particular patch.

I completely agree with keeping PRs to a reviewable size.
