No.  You can send a ping if there is no response for 2~3 weeks but not
RESEND.  RESEND is normally used to refresh aged patches that needs to
be rebased to the latest release, or to make some minor update that
doesn't deserve a new version, like error in commit log etc.

No. Always state the reason for resending.  Maintainers do not know why
you are resending.
