Just remind, you could use the command like below to generate patch
set with cover letter, version number, etc:

  $ git format-patch -v6 --cover-letter COMMIT_HASH -o patches/

Don't need to resend patch set for only this purpose, but it's good
later to use cover letter for description for big patch set, and
version number is important for maintainers to easily know which is
the latest version for merging your patches.

Thanks,
Leo
