@ -111,6 +111,14 @@ A: Generally speaking, the patches get triaged quickly (in less than 48h).
patch is a good way to ensure your patch is ignored or pushed to
the bottom of the priority list.
Q: I submitted multiple versions of the patch series, should I directly update
patchwork for the previous versions of these patch series?
A: No, please don't interfere with the patch status on patchwork, leave it to
the maintainer to figure out what is the most recent and current version that
should be applied. If there is any doubt, the maintainer will reply and ask
what should be done.
Q: How can I tell what patches are queued up for backporting to the
various stable releases?
