Sorry I've noticed the cover letter only after the response.

So it's only because of this requirement from Yocto Project compliance?

"Have all patches applied to BitBake and OpenEmbedded-Core (if present)
been submitted to the open source community?"

Shouldn't the wording be change to something like "all applicable
patches" or "all generally useful patches"?

It seems strange to send project specific patches together with cover
saying that they aren't generally applicable and shouldn't be merged,
just because of this requirement.
