Do you mean, that you haven't seen patch for ARM, which I sent on
September 27 along with cover and patch 1? It is strange, because
you was the one from recipients. If so, you can see this patch here:
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/992779/

It seems that I have received patch 5, _but_ it's not threaded with
the cover message and patch 1.  With 50k messages in my inbox, and 3k
messages since you sent the series, it's virtually impossible to find
it (I only found it by looking at my mail server logs from September
to find the subject, and then searching my mailbox for that subject.)

This is unnecessarily difficult.

This comes up surprisingly often, and I think part of the issue is that
different maintainers have different preferences. I also prefer to receive
the entire series and cover-letter, but I've seen people object to being
CC'd on the whole series as well (how they manage to review things in
isolation is another question...!)

I wonder if we could have an entry in MAINTAINERS for this sort of
preference?

Maksym: in the short term, please just stick me and Russell on CC for the
entire thing.
