To catch-up the list with the ext4 concall:

Dave Chinner and I have been experimenting with accepting tagged pull
requests, where the tag message is the most recent cover letter so that
the git history can capture the broader justification for the series and
the development revision history.  Signed tags would be ideal too,
though given the impossibility of meeting in person to exchange gnupg
keys (and the fact that one has to verify that the patches in the branch
more or less match what's on the list) I don't consider that an
impediment.

Also, if you want me to take this through the xfs tree then it would
make things much easier if you could base this branch off 5.13-rc4, or
something that won't cause a merge request to pull in a bunch of
unrelated upstream changes.
