here are the results of using some tools to check this patchseries:

For the former warning, I'd suggest moving patch 4/4's contents up
in the series.

For the latter warning, googling for the property shows an upstream
effort, so it might be ok, but it'd be nice to provide a
cross-reference to the status of the latest post, to make it easier
for reviewer consumption.

Also, I think you'd get more recipient coverage by using
scripts/get_maintainer.pl.
