It looks like the current set of patches are registering an atexit()
cleanup handler, but there aren't changes to add signal handlers; is
this correct?

In the case of e2fsck, we have signal handlers already, but many of
the other e2fsprogs programs don't have signal handlers and unless I
missed them when I did a quick scan, it looks like this patch series
doesn't add any.
