Does this apply even to "checkpatch cleanup patch spam", where other patches

For networking you can check patchwork, if it's already marked
as rejected or such - there's no need to respond.

I've generally been assuming I can ignore those, do I need to make
sure to explicitly respond with typically a repeat of what's already
been said elsewhere?

Repeating the same thing over and over is sadly a part of being
a maintainer, tho.
