They all arrived. You can see them in the list archive at:

http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2016-June/165082.html
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2016-June/165083.html
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2016-June/165084.html

The subject line for all these patches is wrong, though. It should be e.g.:

  sdl2_ttf: new package

The first line of your git commit log becomes the subject line when you 
generate an email with 'git format-patch'.

Hope this helps,
baruch
