I think that the way it works is that you need to repost the patch.
Probably with REPOST in the subject if it is unchanged:

Subject: [PATCH net-next repost v2] ...

Or bumped to v3 if there are changes.

Subject: [PATCH net-next v3] ...

Also, as per the examples above, the target tree, in this case
'net-next' should be included in the subject.
