Yes, everyone feels the same about their cross-subsystem patch-sets. ;)

If there are build-time dependencies I am always happy to take sets
in via MFD and send out pull-requests to other subsystem Maintainers;
however, if there are only run-time dependencies I prefer to save
everyone the hassle and have them go in via their own subsystems.
