At vger.kernel.org postmaster I just spent 45 minutes dealing with the fallout. 1200+ patches all at once, unacceptable. Every patch having the same Subject line text, unacceptable. Triggering rate limiting bounces on %50+ of all lkml recipients, unacceptable. This is why you don't spam lists with a thousand patches. If this is going to be properly submitted, it must be done in reasonable, bite size, pieces of 10 to 15 patches at a time.
