Understood. Please allow me one last follow-up question. Did I add the correct
maintainers/mailing lists to reach the 5.15 LTS maintainers? If not,
how do I find
the correct addresses? I used scripts/get_maintainer.pl as suggested here
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/reporting-issues.html)
to locate maintainers/mailing lists.

Wishing you a lovely week!

Best,
Marius
