Apparently my scripts call `git format-patch` with -D, which doesn't
generate appliable patches when files are deleted.

Don't call format-patch with -D, then ;-).

Do you want me to send it again without -D?

Sure, if a collection of patches want to be reviewed and applied, I
would think it helps for them to be appliable to a common tree (like
my 'master') with tools reviewers and the maintainer are know to use
(like "git am").  As more roadblocks are added before the changes
can become reviewable in the reviewers' trees, less chances they
have to get reviewed.

Oh, I didn't answer the question.  Do I want you (or anybody) to?
Not really, especially during the pre-release freeze period.

I wasn't heavily involved in the "let's use asciidoctor-native to
bypass xmlto" or "asciidoc is not exactly abandoned, but we should
prepare ourselves to make asciidoctor the default" discussion, but
I've seen people I trust voice their opinion and trust them enough
to believe that a concensus among them would lead to an acceptable
future, so I'd rather stand on the sideline, and see people discuss
and come up with a concensus before I pick the final product when
the next cycle opens.

And it would help to make sure reviewers can pick it up and apply it
to their trees, if a patch series, even as a discussion material and
not a final submission, wants to lead to such a concensus.

Thanks.
