Very odd quoting style, please fix up your email client to do this
properly.

Resend anything I missed as a new version of the patch, saying you have
fixed up whatever kept it from being accepted the first time (if I had
commented on it), or just a 'resend' if I happened to miss it.

But first rebase your patches on my staging-testing branch to ensure
that they do work properly, otherwise you are just wasting time redoing
something I will have to reject again :)

Nope, that's just how it goes, but keep Julia's ack on it when you
resend.

I don't know, I need specifics here.  Did I say something about them, or
just ignore them completly?  Did I say something like "redo all of your
outstanding patches"?  Remember, I get over 1000 emails a day, and just
had to review over 500 patches submitted for the staging subsystem in
the past 5 days.  I can't remember anything specifically, and neither
could anyone else with that kind of workload :)
