Do you see other examples of people on the mailing list submitting
patches as multiple attachments?

Please do not do this.

I recommend taking a week or so and reviewing the other submissions that
are sent to the list first, to understand the processes involved, before
trying to submit your own changes.

Remember, you need to learn to read first, before you learn how to write :)

thanks,
