Ah yes, similar result. Again, unless the set is particularlly large
or touches many subsystems, I tend to Cc all affected Maintainers (if
I'm sending, or like to be Cc'ed if I'm the recipient) on all of the
patches. Set status is much easier to track that way and issues which
might be relevant to more than one patch in the set can be seen by
all.
