Please stop doing this!  

I appreciate your intention to help, but this is not the proper way of
doing it.  This is a work-in-progress series and you should have asked
before taking over.  Please do not interfere with other people's work
without having a preliminary agreement with the author(s).

Additionally, before submitting any other patches, you should get 
familiar with the process - see [1] for a starting point.

Why? Did you read [2]?

This has been already handled - see [3].

That's definitely not suitable as you made lots of other mistakes while
preparing the patches, i.e. preserving authorship, missing commit
descriptions, SoB tags, etc.
