No.  Expiring it from pw-ci polling.  pw-ci keeps a cache of all the
patches it thinks it should monitor.  The issue is that we had all sorts
of partial series, or series that are very old and don't have a proper
state (for instance, maybe they got archived with state still as 'new')
we were monitoring them.
