I was told that these enhancements really needed to get into v5.8,
otherwise the OSV intercepts will be much further out. Certainly not of
concern to you and not your problem, I am just answering your question
as an explanation for my goal for inclusion into v5.8.

It seems inappropriate that I have the title of maintainer and not be
able to have patches considered for inclusion during an entire release
cycle. I completely understand that you are under tremendous load and
expect that you have an incredible amount of things demanding your
attention. I was wrong to expect a higher level of visibility of these
patches and I am sorry that I spammed you with this patchset.
