My apologies - I know it is a busy time during the merge window. I did
not mean to seem impatient.

With the volume of things on the mailing list, I merely wanted to try to
avoid the series getting buried. If a week is too frequent to re-bump a
series, do you have a set of recommendations of how to best interact
with your workflow?

I'm just trying to balance people's time to review such things, with the
volume of the list.

Thanks for your time.
