Then you've completely failed to understand what's written there. Let's
quote Wikipedia: 

"In data communications, flow control is the process of managing the
rate of data transmission between two nodes to prevent a fast sender
from overwhelming a slow receiver."

See that second number? That's the number of patches still waiting in my
inbox. See how it's MUCH greater than 100? See the third number? That's
roughly the number of days behind on email I am. Kindly slow way the
hell down so I can catch up. Consider going all the way down to one
unacknowledged patch at a time.

Patchwork (as the first page says) is irrelevant. It is of practically
no use to me in particular, since I'm already using my inbox to track
patches. It actually makes what I do MORE WORK by adding a whole second
system to track what's already in my inbox and since I can't do email
reviews from patchwork, I can't ditch my inbox.
