It'd be really helpful if you could consistently copy at least one
list, preferably one monitored by patchwork, for an entire series.  The
kvm list is missing patches 06 and 08.  I can find the latter hopping
over to the intel-gfx or dri-devel projects as I did for the last
series, but 06 only copied linux-s390, where I need to use lore and
can't find a patchwork.  Thanks,

Alex
