But you're not sending it 'to whom it may concern', you're sending it
to multiple public mailing lists. When you post to a public mailing
list you're posting to *all* its readers, and you have a duty to ensure
your mail is on-topic and comprehensible to that audience.

The question of what firmwares to include in the Fedora packages is on
-topic for maybe the devel@ list or the kernel list, but unless it's
causing some kind of major problem in a QA testing process, it's not
particularly relevant for test@. The question of what should be in
upstream linux-firmware isn't particularly on-topic for any Fedora
list.
