I use patchwork extensively for tracking, so merely resending patches so
that they float to the top of my inbox isn't useful in itself. Patches
do, by the way, float to the top of my inbox when you just reply to them
(e.g. by pinging). Resending a particular series is fine because it's
then easy to mark the old version as "superseded". Sending a collection
of patch such as this is a bit more annoying because now the duplicates
are spread about a bit more in patchwork, so it's a bit more work to get
patchwork cleaned up. But it's not that bad, so no harm done.

Usually when I look at patchwork I will look at the A/F/R/T column and
the more flags I see there, the more likely I will be to go and apply
it. Anything else I will go and look at myself and comment and/or apply
or sometimes wait for someone else to review.

Perhaps a better way to nag me would be to delegate patches that you've
reviewed or think are ready to me, which would make them stand out more
among the others.
