I've done this for all of kbproto. Just a little procedural question.

I have now patches that are related, but in different components. Should
I put them into one thread of patches, optionally with a cover letter
without component?

If I have a patch that requires a previous one that is not yet in the
archives, do I just vaguely refer to that patch, or wait.
