Please allow me one last follow-up question. Did I add the correct maintainers/mailing lists to reach the 5.15 LTS maintainers? If not, how do I find the correct addresses? I used scripts/get_maintainer.pl as suggested here (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/reporting-issues.html) to locate maintainers/mailing lists. Wishing you a lovely week! Best, Marius
