Example why helping to maintain the patches by submitter would help:
mknod01: Rewrite the test using new LTP API [1] followed by [v2,1/1] mknod01:
Rewrite the test using new LTP API [2].

Li reviewed v2, but later Cyril pushed v1 (manually updating patch) without
update patchwork. (Li review was ignored, I tried to apply v2 to merge it
because status was not updated.)

Kind regards,
Petr
