OK, "parisc:" is understood - but what tag shall I use for all the
other patches? They're all subsystem "mm". Are they supposed to all
have the same subject? My initial post had that - it was one single
patch that touched the "mm" subsystem".

(Also I'd appreciate a wording less strong than calling an aspect of
my work "a disaster". This is mostly just taste;
submitting-patches.rst is unspecific enough. And quite a few commits
contradict with your interpretation like 620943d7ee69
("include/linux/mmzone.h: clean up watermark accessors").)
