Hi,

apropos "doing this": I've stumbled over ...

https://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/11/336

... and am wondering:

*What exact timespan do you mean with "at once"?*

Srsly, I mean... just look at the last few patches of mine at the (main) 
mailing list. I'm going to submit (at least) about 120 (!) more[1] of 
them. How long shall I wait after each one not to kill your 
infrastructure and not to be locked out?

Best,
AK

[1] Amount of maintainers of only one subsystem which is affected by a 
such patch of mine. (Easier for me to split by subsystem.)
