I have often seen several patches (not bug fix) merged
even after "merge window".

So once the first two patch set are accepted by the maintainers,
do you agree to merging the third one (i.e. secure boot patch itself)
promptly?
        -> Heinrich

As I said, I have had no technical issues on the first two patches
and haven't heard any comments/objections from the maintainers so far.
Are you willing to accept them for the next release?
        -> Tom, Simon
