The subject line is missing "v4" and "0/7". Also, the cover letter is missing a diffstat. That makes it harder to see from the cover letter what the rest of the series is about. 'git format-patch/send-email --cover-letter' does what you want; you can even 'git config format.coverletter=auto' to always include a decent cover letter on any multi-patch series.
This posting follows a little bit different pattern, one that I myself follow when posting patches for two (or more) components that must work in sync.
Ok, makes sense. Maybe the only additional suggestions would be to make it more obvious in the subject line (put the text 'cross-post' somewhere?) or have the first paragraph of the meta-cover be more explicit that there are going to be multiple sub-threads, one per project, where all subthreads must be applied to their corresponding project for the overall feature to be complete?
That's a good idea. I think prefixing the main blurb's subject with [cross-post], and a "standard" first paragraph based on your above suggestion, would be helpful.
[And maybe I should wait a few minutes for the full thread to appear in my inbox, rather than immediately replying to the first mail while the series is still incomplete due to mail delays...]
I'm not patient; it would be unfair from me to expect others to be... :)
