Yeah, you can address and send then an updated patch.  Doing so, please
increment the re-roll count which eases to know that patch is the last.

For instance, the ones you sent looks like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

and the reviewer has to open all 3 to know what happens.  Compare with

Well, I suggest you to use “git format-patch -v4”. :-)

Yeah, but is it released?  Or simply the development version?  If it is
the development version, usually it is on per user basis, i.e., you can
use a package transformation.  Inclusion of releases is preferred.

Note that some packages are only one upstream source but indeed
different packages.  For instance, notmuch and emacs-notmuch (for the
most recent :-)).  Another example, IIRC, some time ago, Org-contrib was
a folder under Org but distributed by 2 packages.  Well, it is sometime
the same package and simply that upstream reorganize stuff. :-)

BTW, why is it needed to explicitly copy the “extensions” files?
Without this added phase, does it not work?

All the best,
