Please don't follow Outreachyfirstpatch instructions - even if
you do, don't send the patch to OutReachy mailing list and this
will be very confusing!!

You should follow the instructions on

https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/lkmp to send patches.

This is fine - the first patch can come just to

linux-kernel-mentees at lists.linuxfoundation.org
