In my opinion, if it is just a single patch and not a patch series a
reply to the original message should sent.

The new patch should be marked with »v2«. (Look for `--subject-prefix`
`git help format-patch`.)

Patchwork will create a new item for this patch. Look at the IDs 1732
and 1734 for my patches. (Although in this case the first version was
the correct one.)

You can update the state to superseded of the original patch using the
Web interface or `pwclient` [1].

Please do not sent messages with such disclaimers to public lists if you
can.
