Please read the cover letter. The distribution list for the patchset
would have been way too large to cc every maintainer (even as limited as
it was, I had mailing lists yelling at me). My plan was to get buy in
for the first patch, get it merged and resend the rest independently to
their respective maintainers. Of course, though, I'd be open to other
suggestions.

Thanks, that's a good suggestion. I'll make the change for v2.
