Independent patches, not to say important fixes, would get the right attention if they come outside of a large series that introduces a new feature. Features need time to review so they do not get the priority, unlike fixes. Even if you send a ping mail to the thread with the series, it's likely to get lost. The mail traffic does not decrease over time but we still have the same time to process it. Making things visible "the right way" really helps, on both sides.
