You obviously run some kind of semantic patching. It would really help
ease review if you could publish the semantic patches that generate
your patches - that is probably more helpful in review than just
posting the generated patches.

And it does not need to be "complete", I'd think everyone on the cc:
list here is able to handle a cocchinelle patch, for example.
