I would like to emphasize this - slow down a bit and maybe you won't
overwhelm the system entirely.

Got it.

I find myself telling more and more new submitters to slow down. Sounds like
they don't read our documentation before submitting patches. Especially if the
file is even called submitting-patches:

From: Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst

Don't get discouraged - or impatient
------------------------------------

After you have submitted your change, be patient and wait.  Reviewers are
busy people and may not get to your patch right away.

Once upon a time, patches used to disappear into the void without comment,
but the development process works more smoothly than that now.  You should
receive comments within a week or so; if that does not happen, make sure
that you have sent your patches to the right place.  Wait for a minimum of
						     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

one week before resubmitting or pinging reviewers - possibly longer during
^^^^^^^^

That's for "not getting any answers" which is not the case here.

Sending a vX update sometimes feels more urgent because you don't want other 
people to read your buggy old version. But yes, some patience is also good
there. 

Thanks,
