That's indeed an issue. Some large series are immediately reposted for every single (sometimes trivial) change suggested by a commenter. This also leads to inflated patch version numbers. I'm already getting nervous when I have to send out a v3 or v4 myself, but from a quick search, v29 seems to be the current record on lkml... Does git send-email remember when the previous version of a series was sent out? If yes, it could refuse to resend it too soon. The back off period would depend on the size of the patch series (large patch series need more delay).
