Hi Jon,

here's the next piece of documentation which should be generic enough.

Thx.

Explain when a submitter should tag a patch or a patch series with the
"RESEND" tag.

This has been partially carved out from a tip subsystem handbook
patchset by Thomas Gleixner:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181107171010.421878737@linutronix.de

and incorporates follow-on comments.
