I guess if this patch is ready to be pulled in a git repo, you should 
submit it using git format-patch / git send-email, ideally as a patchset 
with each patch dealing with one lib, because clearly each ex-library 
will require its own set of custodian ack(s), thus require its own patch 
in the set.

Amicalement,
