Ah, interesting. It would be best to have sent that one independently
to the others, plus adding a commit message mentioning this in
particular. Let's talk about that in the thread.

Yes, I told Will I would pick up whatever is not already picked up by
individual maintainers.

Since you already did the splitting work, let's take advantage of it.
I prefer them to be split anyway, since that gives maintainers a
chance to pick them up individually if they prefer to do so.
