I think it's good you are doing all of these.

Instead of individually sending these patches, could you
please send a patch series for all of these attribute_group
patches with a cover letter at the same time?

That could make it easier for a trivial maintainer to apply
all of these at once and not get some applied and others
ignored or dropped on the floor.

Once again, I will send all of patch together, But I have doubt. If it's having
different maintainer. Example- 'net:' subsystem is having a different different
maintainer. So do i need to add all the maintainer in single list. Which can confuse
what patch is for what maintainer. Please suggest me.

Thanks ,
