Another question: should this patch be split up into two, one for
maint/master and another for next?

AFAIK sending patches against next is not preferred at all. You should
send your patches against master, or - if you have a strong reason - on
top of a given topic branch.

In the later case I just use to write "This applies on top of
'xx/foo-bar'." between the three dashes and the diffstat.
