Thanks!

You can add my

to patches 03, 04, 11, 19, 23, 24, 25, 26.

BTW, checkpatch reported a few newly-introduced whitespace errors in patches
03, 05, 16, 24, and 25.

Thanks for reviewing.

I will check again, but I'm sure those are all deliberate. I examined all 
the "errors" and "warnings" before submitting.

checkpatch doesn't really understand the difference between whitespace 
used for indentation of statements (according to scope) and whitespace 
used for alignment of terms or parameters (when line-wrapped). Any tool 
that fails to make that distinction can't be depended upon to correctly 
validate the elisp in Documentation/CodingStyle, for example.

Checkpatch complains because you don't replace a sequence of 8 spaces
by a TAB in continuation lines.

Right. Were such a sequence used for indentation, a tab should be used 
instead. After those tabs, spaces are needed for alignment (see elisp 
example mentioned above).

But I sure wouldn't want to try to encode that distinction in regexp (as 
opposed to comparing a patch with its pretty-printed version, as might be 
generated by an actual C parser). So I expect some false positives from 
checkpatch.
