I do let patches marinate for a while, to give other people the
opportunity to review, test and comment.
After a few weeks, when the merge window is open, I pick-up all the
patches and apply them in turn.
That's my process, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

If you have a fix to a patch you already got reviewed-by, send the
patch again, and add reviewed-by.
That's the way it should work.
