I came up with one more approach: I can send a patch, which address the
issues reviewer mentioned and after getting more reviews from other
peers I can rebase my original commits and incorparate all the
later patches to them and prepare v2 series.

[PATCH 0/4]
[PATCH 1/4]
fix1 to address issue from subthread1 reported by r1
fix2 to address issue from subthread2 reported by r2
fix3 to address issue from subthread2 came during discussion with r1 and r2
[PATCH 2/4]
...

Such approach makes it clear how the comments were addressed, because
now you see a diff, not the whole new patch.  On the other hand it can
be a little harder to reply, because you don't have the latest version
of the patch, but have only original patch and updates to it, so you
need to pick, which one you want to reply to.

I will try this one, to find its weak points.  It's better to practice
on this small patch series, rather something huge)

Another question: Is it better to inline or attach patches?
