I really like when contributors are clear about why they are posting
their series and what their expectations are.  This posting leaves me a
bit confused as to what you expect the maintainers to do.

Should the maintainers ignore this series until those in-progress things
are done?  Or, do you expect that this could be merged as-is before
those are resolved?
