We prefer lots of small patches, they are easier to find time to
review. Combing patches is generally the wrong things to do.

This is also helpful to know; thanks. I had assumed the opposite was
preferred (if the combined patch was fairly small) to reduce the
amount of mailing list traffic.

mutt(1) can show and delete emails faster than i can scan the subject
lines for keywords to see if they are interesting. So the absolute
number of emails does not matter.

For most reviewers, it is not an 9 to 5 job. Reviews get fitted in
between other tasks, maybe while waiting for a build to complete,
drinking coffee, etc. Small patches which can be quickly reviewed are
more likely to get looked at. Big patches will get deferred, and maybe
deferred again and again.

So if you want your patches reviewed and merged quickly, make then
small, good commit messages, obviously correct, and quick to review.
