Hi Ajit,

That sounds annoying. A sanity check question to start - is there any sense
in resubmitting the series and just intentionally delaying sending the 2nd
half of the commits? I.e.

1. git send-email /my-patches-dir/*
2. Send the first 30
3. At prompt for 31st patch, pause.
4. wait 10 minutes.
5. Return to terminal, send patches 31 through 57.

Or, if this is not possible, I think there should be some solution on the
patchwork mail server policy side. I think Ali Alnubani from NVIDIA manages
it and he is usually pretty responsive with such modification requests. We
could ask about solutions like:

1. Add a complete exception to the mail server message rate restriction for
emails coming from email addresses associated with DPDK member companies.

or

2. Simply make the message rate restrictions more permissive than they are
currently (i.e. allow 100 emails, not 30).

If the ideas above will not work, I will have to assess the "bundle" idea
tomorrow when I have time available than I do right now. Most likely it's
technically possible to facilitate but I do feel like simply resolving the
original issue (the mail server is not letting you submit your series) and
allowing the CI system automation to intake the patchseries from patchwork
in the normal way is the ideal approach.
