Thanks :) . Nice to know it'll be of use for others.

Ah, I missed that.

Yes, I realized that I had forgotten the `--reroll-count=` argument when
making this patch (I suppose a way to store the Cc list for a topic
somewhere would be nice so I didn't lean so heavily on shell history
would help this).

FWIW, my main gripe with the email-based workflow is the lack of
coordinated metadata (LWN has numerous comments by me about my views if
you're curious, but I should really formalize them into blog posts). But
when in Rome :) .

Thanks,
