It is not surprising the patches haven't seen any comments: We get way
more patches than we can handle these days. If you want to help, please
review patches of other people, and recommend adaption or rejection.
(Once I pondered requiring people to review 10 patches before reviewing
one of theirs)
In case of your first patch, there is an added difficulty that the
introductory text is so long it shys reviewers away: If you 10 minutes
to read *just* the explanation what the patch does, you know that it
will take several hours to deal with the entire patch.
Of course, a quick review shows that the patches are formally
incomplete, so I did not need to look further.

Martin
