There's not going to be any rule that always works. It takes
judgement. I'd say the greater the rework from review comments, the
sooner you can resend. But then if it's multiple
subsystems/maintainers, you need to give all of them time.

I go in date order mostly. You send a new version, then you go to the
back of the queue. So if you want it reviewed the soonest, send it 2
weeks ago. ;) There's also the strategy of reviewing other patches in
front of yours. Sometimes I go by version numbers, but send version 50
and I might be suspicious. And that's rewarding folks who are sloppy
or keep sending broken stuff. The real solution is I just need more
help reviewing things.
