Maybe something has changed recently, but I thought that the review is
an ongoing process (that the discussion about patches takes place all
the time to refine the code).

(and nobody expects maintainers pulling new patches after merge window).

I'm a bit puzzled now. 
I do know that maintainers are overworked - and I do understand that.

However, NO reply for such a long time is at best confusing for
somebody who is willing to fix the kernel.

(Maybe this has changed too - but I do remember that there was a "rule
of thumb" to express any comment about the patch in 2 weeks time).

Please forgive me, but are patches from this series eligible for pulling
(to v5.4 or even next release)?
