AFAICT, you did everything correctly. I saw both sets of patches
you sent, one date Tuesday 11th, and the other Wednesday 12th.
IIRC, I received both series shortly after you sent them - the
Received headers don't show any wierd delays in either patchset.

What's on the list archive & my INBOX looks normal, so the only
thing I can imagine is that the Red Hat outbound mail servers
had some delay in delivering your copy. Unfortunately there's
nothing I can do to confirm that since I've no access to Red
Hat mail logs.
