Sorry, I did write a cover letter here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220831013359.1807905-1-jwerner@xxxxxxxxxxxx/ Are you saying I should have kept resending the cover letter on every new iteration of the series? I thought since we were already discussing detail questions and there seemed to be no general concerns on the series as a whole that wouldn't be necessary, but I can keep resending it next time if you prefer.
