Fair point and the series does have a cover letter  which you can
access it at https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231003041657.1745487-1-maheshb@google.com/
Probably it's fault of my mailer-script which finds the reviewers for
individual patches by running scripts/get_maintainer.pl but then
coverletter is just sent to the mailing-list
