Whenever something like this happens, especially the patch was original sent more than several days ago, it is helpful to give the message-id of what you are referring to to identify and retrieve it. More often than not, it wasn't explicitly rejected but was simply dropped, either by mistake or got delayed in delivery and got forgotten.

Also for a pair of small series like these, when rerolling the preparatory series for the final round, it is helpful to also send the other series that depends on the preparatory one at the same time, even if the latter hasn't changed since the last time.

Thanks.
