They are actually waiting for gmail to reject them so often they get deleted. If you try subscribing a gmail address to lkml it really doesn't work very well. Maybe you get 70% of the emails (hard to say) but they all arrive out of order and sometimes days late - makes a real mess of patch sets. More interesting would be not sending any patch emails (and replies to) to gmail addresses. That isn't as harsh as unsubscribing gmail addresses and still leaves the gmail addresses getting any 'admin' messages. > > So, we either unsubscribe all gmail addresses from LKML and prevent them from > resubscribing, or we do something less drastic and revert it to how it was > supposed to work in the first place -- only patches without a dedicated list > end up on LKML. Then those of us who want to see most emails (or use local filters) will have to subscribe to all the lists we can think of, and then handle the fact that we receive multiple copies of emails that get sent to multiple lists.
