If the patches are against a linux-yocto*.git repository, they go to
linux-yocto. If they are against the oe-core meta-data, they should go
to the openembedded-core mailing list. If they are to meta-yocto, they
should go to the poky mailing list (this one is rather confusing
unfortunately). The only patches that should go to the "yocto" mailing
list are for related projects, such as meta-intel, that are not part of
oe-core, poky, linux-yocto, and do not have their own lists (such as
bitbake-devel).

For the work you are doing:

Patches to meta-intel go here, to the yocto mailing list.
Patches to linux-yocto*git go to the linux-yocto mailing list.
Patches to poky/meta/recipes-kernel/linux/* should go to the
openembedded-core mailing list.

Clear as mud? :-)
