As this is a very active mailing list, with reviewers poring over many
(sometimes dozens of) patches each day, it is easy for a reviewer to
forget exact details of each individual submission and review comment.
As a patch contributor, you can help ease reviewers' burden by adding
commentary to your submission here, below the "---" line following
your sign-off. In particular, reviewers find it very helpful when you:

* describe in some detail what changed since the previous version of
the patch, showing that you understood and took into consideration
each of the review comments from the previous iteration

* a link, like this[1], pointing at the previous round (and perhaps
further back) so reviewers can refresh their memories about issues
raised previously; this also helps people wanting to review this round
who were not involved in earlier rounds
