Can you clarify what you mean?  v14 here is the first series including
this doc comment so there was no way for me to have reviewed this
earlier.  Code contents were already successfully reviewed many
revisions ago.

It is also down to you to have some patience and collect more review
from other maintainers and batch up changes, instead of spinning another
revision quickly after a review comment.

But this request can also be turned around: review and scan your own
series for simple inconsistencies before sending it to the lists, that
will surely make the time spent by reviewers much more "productive" as
well.
(Note that this goes hand in hand with the request to slow down
 consecutive revisions!)

And finally, as already said before: you can always decide to ignore my
review nits.  I am not a maintainer and don't have final say on whatever
is blocking for a patch to get merged.
But, when another revision is needed, the things I pointed out can at
least be incorporated, which is why they were shared in the first place.

Thanks for understanding.
