You mean the '~postmarketos/upstreaming@lists.sr.ht' entry with a tilde and a 
slash character? Both are valid characters in email addresses and you can view 
the archive of that mailing list here:

separate kernel repository anyways so it doesn't matter much when exactly the 
driver is going to get merged.
