Ok, makes sense. Maybe the only additional suggestions would be to make
it more obvious in the subject line (put the text 'cross-post'
somewhere?) or have the first paragraph of the meta-cover be more
explicit that there are going to be multiple sub-threads, one per
project, where all subthreads must be applied to their corresponding
project for the overall feature to be complete?

[And maybe I should wait a few minutes for the full thread to appear in
my inbox, rather than immediately replying to the first mail while the
series is still incomplete due to mail delays...]
