I noticed in patchwork [1] that this entire series is marked as "Changes
Requested," despite having received only automated feedback on one patch
in the series. I am concerned about this because last time this occurred
[2], the series received no feedback for a month. I suspect this is
because series marked "Changes Requested" are hidden in patchwork by
default. Can you change the status of this series back to new? Or should
I just resend again?
