Posting them in a series is fine; it is customary to put independent
things first such that they will not get stuck after the larger changes.

Yes, this is a 'fun' case :-) I'd just merge the change into your patch
introducing it and forget I 'contributed' the name change.

For larger patches you could do something like (in your email body):


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changelog goes here...

$PATCH


Which says this patch is from me, carried by you, and then I'll stick
another SoB on to indicated I took it back. Its a bit weird, but we've
done it before.
