At all. I do not know about the preference of the next most likely people to review submodule code, so I refrained from giving advice depending on reviewer preference, but instead gave advice that would ease your work as I recall. After thinking about it further, you may want to make sure that the topic is coherent and it is easy to discover all related emails in an archive of the mailing list. https://public-inbox.org/git/ So in the cover letter you could link to the previous thread, https://public-inbox.org/git/20170308174449.24266-1-me@xxxxxxxxxxxx/ or just continue that thread by replying to an email that is appropriate for the series.
