When there are questions in response to a patch, there are two
possibilities:

 * temporary brainfart --- sorry for the bother
 * the clarity of the patch or commit message has room for improvement

This wasn't a case of the former, so a seasoned contributor could
safely assume that it was definitely a case of the latter.

The explanation in Linux kernel's Documentation/SubmittingPatches
item 10 ("Don't get discouraged.  Re-submit") has some fitting advice.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
