kbuild mailing list has moved

[Sam Ravnborg]

The vger postmasters has created linux-kbuild on my request.

The old list at sourceforge had a few issues:
- it was subscriber-only
- it were relying on moderation

And I could see several mails did not get to the list lately
so I decided this was a good time for a new list.

I already requested marc.info to archieve the new list -
and I dunno where else the old list was archieved but we
ought to update.

I have no access to the list of subscribers on the old list
so people will have to subscribe manually.

How to subscribe:

send a mail to: majordomo@vger.kernel.org
containing following text:
subscribe linux-kbuild

See also http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html

Below is a patch to update MAINTAINERS in the kernel.
Note that I expect the list to cover both pure kbuild
but also kconfig stuff.

For me it is ok.
It was subscriber-only because this was a very low traffic
mailing list (but with daily spam).  BTW, IIRC spam problem
began only when we moved to sf.net.

Anyway, from the beginning there was problem with moderation.
I think because this list is to much low-traffic, to high
spam/true message ratio and no more active moderators)

Considering the nearly inexistent spam in vger, I think it
is a good move.
