No cover letter to summarize the changes?
A range-diff would have been nice, too, as well as replying-to the previous iteration so that they're all within the same email thread. And if you want cover letters and range-diffs and correct In-Reply-To headers, I can think of a splendid way to encourage that: promote tools that do that. That's much better than to require contributors to know all the customs and conventions of the project and send mails in the exact desired format...
It would also help if those expectations were mentioned in Documentation/SubmittingPatches. There's nothing in there about range-diff or In-Reply-To. I think I followed all of the customs of the Git mailing list for v5. Please let me know if I missed something. -Alex
