You really just skimmed over my email... I know how maintainers work.

So I REPEAT: You cannot get this email address you Cced. Point me to the
line in your tree having such email. The one here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/MAINTAINERS#n17181

does not have it.

Who said that? You CC wrong emails because either you work on ancient
tree or you do not use tools like get_maintainers.pl or b4. You cannot
get this email from proper process. It is not physically possible
because that email is nowhere mentioned.

Damn, just use standard tools. You are not supposed to invent maintainers.

<form letter>
Please use scripts/get_maintainers.pl to get a list of necessary people
and lists to CC (and consider --no-git-fallback argument). It might
happen, that command when run on an older kernel, gives you outdated
entries. Therefore please be sure you base your patches on recent Linux
kernel.

Tools like b4 or scripts/get_maintainer.pl provide you proper list of
people, so fix your workflow. Tools might also fail if you work on some
ancient tree (don't, instead use mainline) or work on fork of kernel
(don't, instead use mainline). Just use b4 and everything should be
fine, although remember about `b4 prep --auto-to-cc` if you added new
patches to the patchset.
</form letter>

Best regards,
Krzysztof
