Changes in v3:

  - Reworked the substantial-rework case.  Instead of suggesting that
    authors send a new version sooner, the text now advises authors not
    to rush out an updated version before reviewing the larger changes
    carefully.  It recommends replying to the review that prompted the
    rewrite, saying that a substantial rework is planned, and pointing
    out which parts of the current series will become obsolete.

  - Dropped the advice that a topic close to being accepted may justify
    a quicker reroll.

  - Removed "how close the topic is to being accepted" from the short
    reroll-timing guidance in Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

  - Updated the commit message of patch 2 accordingly.
I'm happy with this version, thanks!
