The way it works now. Just Cc both lists. What's the problem with that?

I use to only do discussions on LKML and have myself Cc'd (or Cc myself in
the discussions), but then I couldn't manage the patches from my inbox. So
I set up the mailing list and added that to be Cc'd too in MAINTAINERS, so
that everything goes to the other mailing list as well. That would then keep
the patches in patchwork, but the discussions would still be visible to the
general audience on LKML.
