I do think it makes much difference between a single series that consists of 47 separate patches and a flood of 47 unrelated patches. As long as it is not a single patch with 200 hunks, some of which has to be redone repeatedly, I think it is fine either way. Many of them may be a no-brainer to accept on the first try, while some may have to be improved with the input from the list and will be rerolled. I would imagine the initial round would be: [PATCH v1 00/47] User manual updates [PATCH v1 01/47] user-manual: update description of 'xyzzy' [PATCH v1 02/47] user-manual: update description of 'frotz' ... [PATCH v1 47/47] user-manual: update description of 'nitfol' and after reviewing, some of them need to be redone in v2; the cover letter for v2 would say something like [PATCH v2 00/52] User manual updates The patches 01-17, 19, 22-36, 39, 42-47 are the same as in v1; 48-52 are new. And people who missed the v1 review cycle may have a chance to look at and respond to [PATCH v2 06/52] which may result in an update of that patch to address issues that reviewers of the initial round may have missed.
