Now I am puzzled, we make updates to the front end nearly
every day, and yet you think we should not contribute
patches with that frequency.

It's not always clear what constitutes a "single individual patch".
We often do major reorganizations of the sources. These are represented
as a collection of individual patches, but I am not sure what you
would expect here.
Perhaps what would be helpful is to take one of the daily patches
that Arno did, and say exactly what you would have found helpful.
It will also be helpful to know if you are speaking as someone
expert in the Ada standard or not.
I assume for you a patch is all related changes. By the way, more than
half the patches are just collections of minor stylistic reformatting
(mostly done by me). These I would assume you have no objection to
batching, since they certainly don't require any discussion or review.
