Subject: PSA: generic patches@lists.linux.dev list
Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2021 16:56:34 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211129215634.gydsyfyhu6rhbbe2@meerkat.local> (raw)
Hi, all:
We have a generically named list `patches@lists.linux.dev` that can be used as
an address for sending patches.
This can be useful for a number of reasons:
1. those maintainers already using lei [1] can list patches@lists.linux.dev as
the mailing list address for their subsystem and receive mail sent to it
via lei saved searches
2. mail sent to this address goes to public-inbox first, so it's likely to
show up on lore.kernel.org very quickly, with fewest delays and omissions
3. you can use this address as an extra cc for mail sent to other lists that
are less likely to preserve the message body as-is -- when retrieving mail
with b4, it will give priority to the linux.dev address in the presence of
duplicates.
Mostly, it's a dumping ground for patches. We can even use it as "THE REST"
address in MAINTAINERS to help offload some of the traffic from vger and make
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org less of a firehose and more amenable to actual
discussions.
-K
