I think you should add least add a sentence that the subject should
contain "[SLOF PATCH...]", so that people on the list can see at a
first glance that the patch is about SLOF.

And IMHO it would be really better to finally have a dedicated mailing
list for SLOF - even if it's low traffic only. It would help filtering
your mails and maybe also attract people who do not want to receive the
whole other traffic from the linux-ppc mailing list.

Patches for SLOF should be made against https://github.com/aik/SLOF,
the master branch and posted to slof@ozlabs.org.
It is recommended cc: to aik@ozlabs.ru, nikunj@linux.vnet.ibm.com,
thuth@redhat.com.

Great, thanks for creating the list!

Since that list is likely low-traffic only, I think I will have a look
at each mail I get on that list, so you can at least remove me from the
CC: list here.
