That's not normal :( So that people posting bug-fixes / backports to these subsystems for older kernels (stable and LTS releases) will CC the new subsystem maintainers. That's why I added CC stable tag only to the first two patches which add/replace maintainers and not the third patch which is just a cleanup. Regards, Srivatsa
