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.
Oh, I see - you sent a meta-cover letter (the one I replied to in this subthread), and then a patch series including a cover letter (the real 0/7, then 1/7 and friends in-reply-to the 0/7) as a child of the meta-cover. It's still a bit awkward for tools that expect the 0/7 as the start of the thread, and part of my confusion was caused by out-of-order mail delivery due to the nongnu.org mail server still recovering from its mail delays.
