Not necessarily. I want to avoid duplicating work, so I usually only
to a full review on patches which were actually changed and check
whether review comments have been addressed. Having a changelog helps to
quickly identify whether the patch author thinks they have adressed all
review comments with this.

Sure, I only respond to the patches themselves, but the cover letter is
still useful. Please note that me not replying to the cover letter does not
imply I didn't read it :), I'd reply to the cover letter in case I
applied the series as a whole or if I had change requests to the overall
idea of the series.

Thanks
