This is patch 3 of a series but I don't have anything else in the
series.  What is going on with the rest of the series - what are the
dependencies and so on?

I give up.  Seriously, this is impossible.  If I don't include everybody
in the slightest way related to any patch in the series, I get
complaints that patches are missing.  If I do, the lists reject it all
due to too many recipients.  What the hell am I supposed to do?

You should normally include at least the subsystem maintainers in at
least the cover letter and cover the dependencies there.  Think about
how this is going to work: if you don't give us any information on
what's going on with dependencies then we can't tell how to handle the
patches - do we need to apply them, only review them or what?
