Even MAINTAINERS has that as the official mail address. I > heard that the mailing alias is broken at the moment but wouldn't it > be better to fix that? I have a patch in one my trees to update the MAINTAINERS file, which will get backported to the older kernels as well, it must be queued for 3.3, as it's not really a big deal. And the alias is being worked on, sometimes it works, others it doesn't< I'm not quite sure what is going on. But either way, I will catch patches with cc: stable@vger.kernel.org or stable@kernel.org when they hit Linus's tree, which is the important thing, as that's the "real" path to get patches into stable releases. thanks, greg k-h
