Sure, though there's also a large amount of people's work patterns as well - a lot of maintainers seem to batch up their work, sit down and blast through a lot of changes at once. > I especially prefer the ping if its for a patch series, as sending out > a new patch series that didn't change anything will definitely waste my > time, as I usually compare the old with the new to see what changed. Oh, I tend to do the same thing but I basically just discard anything I didn't review yet and compare against the baseline - if it's a resend then I'm not discarding anything, if it's been improved then I get to skip reviewing the intermediate version. --jTlsQtO0VwrbBARu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJVp8tPAAoJECTWi3JdVIfQmP8H/A/H2dM+ReN2JtEZeH3M8irM /phAqwnn7+ueQWVPI4PQtfKIY8ybXM7j7sjkGy1+sxrE5+ZPb2zLlA64U8gVL3dd DqLoopknOlqAr1UMTIYup+Xs/z3tMgIP9aW4AiUtUGpyLvIrtCG53UjbnO7Yszr0 qJnAeW7sGwhwaLb2ZYroQD8TG/OD+TSy2Nfvs2IujLeDhq2zHbH85uU2FAVZd9jC WFJrNaJUjdejL4GQ+naWpyqvChpITT7HPaDqGg+TOw+w8D7ag7PRsCbLlBQ7bF6r Wh1RIAJZpXE1XbQMgMfqD431bB7yAfITu7kbawcT+AYuJ+HPSYPILXCxRoQ9gqM= =ieR9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jTlsQtO0VwrbBARu--
