Yes, net.git is for fixes to the current mainline branch, and net-next
is for new features to be included in mainline during the next merge window.
They are the same at the beginning of the development cycle and then
they start to diverge.

I don't know. "git rebase" is a bit smarter than "git am" and can
automatically resolve some conflicts, on which "git am" will simply bail
out if even the context is not identical. Either way, both patchwork and
me failed to apply your v5 series on net-next, and the patches won't be
accepted without build testing.
