I respect your kind treatment like this. A great job and great thanks! It must have been tough to shift through so many difficult discussions.

+10
Or maybe we can add some difficulty score like e-commerce's review score, so that multiple people (patch author(s), serious persistent reviewers, CFM, and others who had a look but gave up reviewing) can reflect their impressions.
Further, something like stars or "Likes" could be encouraging (while 0 count may be discouraging for the author.)
Also, I'd be happy if I could know the patch set size -- the total of the last line of diffstat for each patch file.
