If none of them have been merged yet, it's best to send all of them
as part of the same series, and to all parties involved. That way,
people have the full picture of what you're trying to achieve when
they review your patches. Unless your series is really big.

Maintainers will pick up patches that need to go through their trees.
In general you don't need to do much coordination beyond pointing out
whether the patches are safe to go in independently or there are
dependencies that the maintainers need to be aware of.
