This will unfortunately trigger some changes (conflict resolving - e.g. if I move the last two patches in the current series forward, in front of the patches with new functionality). What is the proper procedure w.r.t. Reviewed-by tags which were already given? Common sense would make me keep them for trivial changes and remove them if the patch should be re-reviewed. Is that correct?
I don't think there is a general rule. As long as the change is trivial I keep them personally, otherwise I drop them. E.g. if you just remove a few hunk because of new code that isn't present now I'd keep them, if there are more complex changes to the code flow I would consider dropping them.
FWIW I also hacked together a tool to cover my usecase: https://gitlab.com/zub2/opalctl The selling point is that it can handle passwords the same way that sedutil (https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil) does.
That actually is pretty nice, as it allows people to migrate over (not that I've heard of a whole lot of usage of sedutil, but being compatible to some extent is always nice)
