patch is a good way to ensure your patch is ignored or pushed to
the bottom of the priority list.
+Q: I submitted multiple versions of the patch series, should I directly update
+ patchwork for the previous versions of these patch series?
+
+A: No, please don't interfere with the patch status on patchwork, leave it to
+ the maintainer to figure out what is the most recent and current version that
+ should be applied. If there is any doubt, the maintainer will reply and ask
+ what should be done.

Q: How can I tell what patches are queued up for backporting to the
various stable releases?
