please stop posting in this style. It's really annoying to see spontaneously popping-up almost same patch for more than two hours long. If you have a series of the same fix patches, send them as a patch set in a shot with a thread. git-send-email does it right. I don't mind a couple of patches posted separately, but this is over the limit.
Or at least just collect them up and send them all at one time even if not as a single thread (you don't want to CC everyone affected by a single patch in the set on everything, that's harder to avoid when sending a series via git, but it can be confusing to get one item in a large patch series without context).
I like this idea better. I will do so next time. :)
I don't it's better.
It's not that confusing if the 0/n patch cover letter is cc'd to all the appropriate mailing lists and all the [1..n]/n patches are sent with in-reply-to of the cover letter and send to the maintainers and appropriate mailing lists.
