I don't understand how how patchwork handles the conversation on the 
cover letter. I was never able to see them on patchwork but lore.kernel.org.

My review for patch 15 was received on patchworks as it should. It was 
missing "net-next" on the subject so perhaps that's why you missed it.

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/80a853f182eac24735338f3c1f505e5f580053ca.1680180959.git.daniel@makrotopia.org/#25278482

Why don't you just check your inbox? We're emailing each other in the end.

Did you try writing the output of get_maintainers.pl to a file, then 
feed the file directly to git send-email as recipients?

That may bypass that issue. It's also currently how I send my patches.
