Usually it's pretty clear when a new patch or patch series is going to be sent. I think that simply resending it all is OK.
I don't pay much attention to the "version N" info either - it can be unreliable and not everyone does it and chronological ordering works OK for this.
Very occasionally I'll merge a patch and then discover a later version further down through the backlog. But that's OK - I'll just update the patch. Plus I'm not usually stuck this far in the past.
(I'm still trying to find half a day to read "Per-bdi writeback flusher threads v12")
