That is where re-sending is important. Don't throw patches over the wall
and then forget them - that's precisely how this happens.

Consider who has the higher workload, and who ends up dealing with many
many many emails, and realise that the options for those of us who receive
patches are either to drop patches, or have an endlessly growing backlog
of patches when things get busy.

Unless we drop patches, things can get pretty rediculous - consider the
effect of a backlog of one month worth of patches would cause...
