<aol> Agreed! The ext2/ext3/ACL/ext-attr and s390 patchkits are really bad offenders (sorry, guys:-). This has been annoying me for a while too. </aol>
I'd suggest that even the first sending of a patchkit should be a single thread, so it can be deleted in one fell swoop for those who don't have the time or the interest to read the patches.
I'd like to see the first message explain what the patchkit does, and provide a diffstat for the entire patchkit.
As Russell suggested, having this scripted is probably a good idea. It would also make it easy to add a 5 or 10 minute delay between sending the introductory message and the patches. That helps people who don't sort their mailboxes :-)
