Wonderful.

I do not think it makes much difference between a single series that
consists of 47 separate patches and a flood of 47 unrelated patches.
As long as it is not a single patch with 200 hunks, some of which
has to be redone repeatedly, I think it is fine either way.

Hopefully, many of them may be a no-brainer to accept on the first
try, while some may have to be improved with the input from the list
and will be rerolled.  I would imagine the initial round would be:

        [PATCH v1 00/47] User manual updates
         [PATCH v1 01/47] user-manual: update description of 'xyzzy'
         [PATCH v1 02/47] user-manual: update description of 'frotz'
         ...
         [PATCH v1 47/47] user-manual: update description of 'nitfol'

and after reviewing, some of them need to be redone in v2; the cover
letter for v2 would say something like

        [PATCH v2 00/52] User manual updates

        The patches 01-17, 19, 22-36, 39, 42-47 are the same as in
        v1; 48-52 are new.

And people who missed the v1 review cycle may have a chance to look
at and respond to [PATCH v2 06/52] which may result in an update of
that patch to address issues that reviewers of the initial round may
have missed.
