Hi,

Those subjects may be too generic for the GPU people to realize we're 
waiting for their Acks.

I suggest you send non-ML email (private) with a more descriptive subject 
to the relevant maintainers asking for them to take look at this series 
(I'd have done that myself later this week but you can do it as well).
Such an email is more likely to be caught in their radar.
