No need to resend, getting documentation updates should not pose any barrier as they can be sent by anyone who found something to fix and insisting on the formalities (that are otherwise a good thing for code) would probably discourage people. > Q: How would I go about updating the patch?

If you don't have more updates to the docs resending is not necessary, unless you want to exercise sending patches by mail.
