You write to the list address, everyone also subscribed gets your mail, 
including you. Some people will set you in Cc additionally.

Yes, and it has some patches on top of the upstream vanilla kernel, IIRC 
around 200 the last time a looked at it.

This makes no sense, the patch must apply. You don't want to build anything 
with a half applied patch.

If you're on v4.14 anyway, I would recommend to run a vanilla kernel and put 
the RT patch(es) on top. At least for a system without graphics, this should 
work. (I had a RPi 1B running with vanilla v4.12 built with ptxdist and the 
DistroKit BSP some time ago, v4.14 and v4.15 also run fine headless. Should 
also work for RPi 2.)
