Okay, there is a bug. "This bug". Let's read on to find out what it is.

Wait, hold on, there is a fix, but what is the bug?

Oh, so there is a detailed analysis of the bug, whatever it is, in the
third patch in this patch series.
But what is the bug.

Hold on! I should read this first? Why is this not on top of the cover
letter, then?
Oh, and wait, everything after that has no relevance to this series? Then
where is the high-level description of the bug, a motivator to read this
patch series?
;-)
I guess I will find out when I have set aside some time to read the patch
series, which is on my back burner because nothing I read so far makes
this more urgent than other tasks I had planned on addressing this week.
Or maybe you could enhance the cover letter by skipping the rant, and by
giving a very rough overview of the bug at the top of the cover letter?
Think of the cover letter as an elevator pitch to make me want to spend
time on reviewing your patch series.
Ciao,
