So I'm guessing I need to send the bug fix to net instead of net-next
and reissue the patch series?

BTW, the review notes that the patch wasn't sent to you
(https://netdev-ctrl.bots.linux.dev/logs/build/1087030/14544928/cc_maintainers/)
but that is because there are two addresses for you:

grep Lunn MAINTAINERS
M: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>
M: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>
M: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>
M: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>
M: Andrew Lunn <andrew+netdev@lunn.ch> <----
M: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>
M: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>
M: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>
M: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>

That seems to foil my scripting. Is MAINTAINERS wrong?
