It is easier (at least for me) if I do less work.

That means if the patches have all the Acked-by and such without me having
to do it - then that is far easier.

And it is far easier (probably?) for you to create an branch called 'for-staging'
which has the patches that have been Acked- and are stripped of the ---.

So I can just do 'git pull' and all of them are in.

But other committers may prefer doing it differently (via git am or such)
in which case resending the series may be simpler?

But then today it looks like its just me and Ian doing commits - so
if you can get Wei's OK , just poke me on IRC with the branch name
and I will slurp it up.
