This is the wrong approach I believe. The goal has always been and
continues to be to have reviewed (whenever possible, our developer
community is small) incremental change over time. Just because something
has been posted a number of times does not mean it's ready to be merged.

Your challenge today is that on patchwork you have over 150 patches
covering a wide variety of topics and of which many series have
technically-merited feedback that needs to be addressed in a technical
manner.
