So the roadmap (as I see it) is:
- convince Lee to take the first patch while waiting for the others
- incorporate the above mentioned patch into your series
- make an ultimatum in case there is no reaction to get it applied on
deadline, let's say within next cycle (if Lee is okay with a such, but
this is normal practice when some maintainers are non-responsive)

P.S. In case Lee doesn't want to take the first patch separately
(let's say this week), send a new version with amended patches
included.
