The wording in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst is indeed unclear about always Cc'ing linux-kernel. My arguments for it are: - People can look at the linux-kernel archives to see what's going on all over the kernel. (I do that sometimes myself) Also it makes it easier to search on lore.kernel.org on linux-specific messages/patches. The /all/ archives also contains other projects. - Some bots are processing proposed patches from mailing lists. These are not subscribed to all subsystem lists. - The b4 tool does it. - Greg does it: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230313182918.1312597-5-gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Thomas
