Missing -stable review patch mails

Hi Greg,

it seems several mails containing individual patches for -stable
review did not get through. About the current round, the following
mails are missing:

PATCH 3.10 10/65

PATCH 3.14 14/92

PATCH 3.19 027/177
PATCH 3.19 033/177
PATCH 3.19 047/177
PATCH 3.19 095/177
PATCH 3.19 097/177

PATCH 4.0 014/220
PATCH 4.0 032/220
PATCH 4.0 052/220
PATCH 4.0 097/220
PATCH 4.0 120/220
PATCH 4.0 122/220
PATCH 4.0 171/220
PATCH 4.0 190/220
PATCH 4.0 203/220

Since they don't show up in gmane.linux.kernel.stable either, I reckon
they got lost rather early on their way. This is not the first time,
in the previous cycle, nine of 96 mails for 3.14 are missing, too.

Can you please check mail logs or whatever?

    Christoph

At least I can confirm this in my mbox as well.

This is a known issue of git and vger.kernel.org not liking to agree on
how to properly encode some utf-8 emails.  vger rejects them because
they are not formatted "properly", yet I don't know what to do with git
to make that work "properly".  It's been this way for a few years now,
and after trying to fix it once a while ago, I gave up as I didn't have
enough time to look into it...

sorry,

I used the Perl MIME modules for this; see
<https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/bwh/linux-3.2.y-queue.git/tree/scripts/review>.

It would be great if all the stable maintainers could share a common set
of scripts and benefit from each others' improvements.  I took you
scripts as a starting point, but they had many dependencies on your
environment and other scripts (not all of which I could find).  Mine are
a little more reusable but still have too many specifics in the code
rather than as configuration and I never implemented added/failed
notifications.

Ben.
