Surely if there were insufficient established context for a reviewer to easily follow a large patch the correct response would be a swift rejection with a request that such context be established prior to submitting again.
It sounds like there was willingness to meet any requirements, but submitters end up in a position of not knowing what the requirements are and if they have met them or not.
It's very easy to develop tunnel vision when working remotely with people you've not even ever met. It's happened to me multiple times and there's a very high chance that this is happening here.
