Bringing this back on subject, whilst trying not to drag this out for longer than we have to. I think replying to one's first patch with a subsequent version has its merits. And as long as the thread hasn't become too overgrown I see it as a useful tool to obtain an Ack or further comment easily and without churn overhead. This also aids in your quest to save maintainers from reviewing the same code repeatedly, as once the Ack is in place it's easy to see which patches are in need of further review and which ones can be skipped.
If you want to do that what often works better is to post an incremental diff rather than the full patch to show exactly what's been done in the fix.
