A great deal of mailing lists contain numerous protections against things like flooding and spamming. One of those protections is a check for "Too many recipients to the message". Most of the time this simply requires moderator intervention by way of review and approval, but this ultimately depends on the ML's configuration. The first thing to ascertain is why your recipients list is so large. Have you added every reviewer, subsystem-maintainer, maintainer and contributor suggested by get-maintainer.pl? If so, consider pruning that a little. Contributors do not tend to care about subsequent changes to a file. As someone who receives a lot of patches, I tend to get fed-up when receiving patches simply because I made a change X years ago. Stick to listed maintainers/reviewers in the first instance and see how far that takes you. If your recipients list is as succinct as reasonably possible, maybe just accept that every version isn't going to be archived by every ML. It's still much more useful for the correct people to have visibility into the set than for it to be archived multiple times. > [1] https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pwm/msg12131.html > > Thank you. > > Guru Das. -- Lee Jones [李琼斯] Linaro Services Technical Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
