Thanks for explaining the overall background clearly.  But you
metioned a side issue that I suspect may refer to some important
background point that I don't know.

I am puzzled by the idea of comparing number of emails with number of
patches.  Why would those two numbers be related in any particular
way?  One can put any number of diffs, for any number of source files,
into a single email, or separate them into any number of emails.

So if people prefer to send everything anout a proposed change in just
one email, why isn't that trivially simple?

I have a hunch that relates to some constraint or complication that
has not been mentioned.
