No news is no indication, though ;-)

As long as the previous rounds, except the parts that have been
changed in this round, have been favorably reviewed, and the updates
in this round have already been reviewed well, it would be good,
and I think that is true for this series.

You've already taken over the ownership of the majority of patches
in the series, and it may not be a bad idea to rename it to
something like gc/submodule-update-part-1 before it hits 'next'.

How many more parts do you anticipate to have, by the way?

Thanks.
