Thank you for following up.

Traditionally, going through the review feedback, and picking up R-b /
T-b and similar tags, are the maintainer's task, involving a git-rebase
with "reword" operations, and the final push. I'm not sure how it helps
to split this work, for any given /single/ series, between multiple
people. To me it seems difficult to coordinate.

It definitely makes sense to distribute /multiple/ series over a pool of
maintainers. I think it's the sub-series granularity that is difficult.

In edk2's case, if I remember correctly, there have been some series
even that modified multiple Packages, and were finally pushed by a
single maintainer (after everything had been fully reviewed). That's a
good approach.

If I can help with pushing a patch set at any time (because it is fully
reviewed, but it's hard to find the time to wrangle the patches), please
ping me, on-list or off-list, as you prefer.

(We might also end up updating the workflow so that it become less
error-prone when not using the git command line.)

Thanks!
Laszlo
