As we currently lack a network maintainer, these patches fall into the
"and all the rest category" picked up sequentially by Wolfgang.  I
expect that to happen Real Soon (tm) now.  

On the other hand, please do not forget that we _intentionally_ allow
for some time to pass before the patches are merged in order to allow
for review on the mailing list and to prevent potentially
merge/revert/change/merge cycles.

Cheers
