Are you kidding?

Dave just told you.

Lemme paste the whole text for you:

"Don't get discouraged - or impatient

After you have submitted your change, be patient and wait. Reviewers are
busy people and may not get to your patch right away.

Once upon a time, patches used to disappear into the void without
comment, but the development process works more smoothly than that now.
You should receive comments within a few weeks (typically 2-3); if that
does not happen, make sure that you have sent your patches to the right
place. Wait for a minimum of one week before resubmitting or pinging
reviewers - possibly longer during busy times like merge windows."

I believe I speak for all of tip folks when I say that they prefer not
to be spammed with the same set too regularly.

As to when you send: there's never a good moment because our mailboxes
are constantly overflowing.
