This is to seek their feedback, if they have something similar 
requirement to debug end user device crashes.

Feedback to what?  There is no context here and no content either at
all.

Just adding a mailing list to the top of a message doesn't actually send
the thread there.

Mukesh, instead of adding the mailing lists here, we should send either 
the refreshed revision of this patchset (if there are enough changes) w/ 
MLs CCed or start a new discussion with these mailing list with the 
context of the minidump and refer these patches from the mailing list 
archives.
