So, I (super-super-super-quickly) skimmed through the series, and saw
that some patches seems to have been Acked-by by the relevant
maintainer already, some have at least one Reviewed-by while some other
have nothing.

In this cases, given both the size of the series and the time this has
been outstanding, it would be useful to add, here in the cover letter,
a summary of some sort of what are the patches that still need the most
attention.

Reviewers and maintainers will double check things anyway, but
something like that is generally useful to assess the general status of
the series, and to have a quick idea on where to concentrate efforts.

On how to do it, there are many ways... This is how I've done it myself
a few patch series ago:
