Without a directed notification to them they might miss those new versions. This is frustrating for the patch developers as they don't receive their earned Reviewed-by. It is also frustrating for the commenters, as they might think their review got ignored or they have to dig up new versions from the archive manually. So encourage patch submitters to make sure that all commenters get notified also when no Reviewed-by was issued yet.
