It's merge window. There was no point in pinging just before merge
window and is even worse to ping now. Nothing can happen with this
patchset and such pings is only noise.

Where did you document dependencies between patches and any non-obvious
merging? I open cover letter and there is NOTHING. I look at patch
changelog and also NOTHING.

So if you tell us nothing, why would we care to think we need to do
anything special here?

You must explicitly document every dependency, both external and between
patches, in the cover letter. At least cover letter, some people (e.g.
mostly me) don't even read them...
