    the bottom of the priority list.
 
+Q: I submitted multiple versions of the patch series, should I directly update
+   patchwork for the previous versions of these patch series?

+A: No, please don't interfere with the patch status on patchwork, leave it to
+   the maintainer to figure out what is the most recent and current version that
+   should be applied. If there is any doubt, the maintainer will reply and ask
+   what should be done.

 Q: How can I tell what patches are queued up for backporting to the
    various stable releases?
