Explain when a submitter should tag a patch or a patch series with the

patchset by Thomas Gleixner:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181107171010.421878737@linutronix.de

and incorporates follow-on comments.

one week before resubmitting or pinging reviewers - possibly longer during

[PATCH Vx RESEND] sub/sys: Condensed patch summary
Don't add "RESEND" when you are submitting a modified version of your
patch or patch series - "RESEND" only applies to resubmission of a
patch or patch series which have not been modified in any way from the
previous submission.
