       On the radar: what is the linux-kernel mailing list for?  @monsieuricon is suggesting that many or most patch postings be redirected to a separate list:https://lwn.net/ml/ksummit-discuss/20231106-venomous-raccoon-of-wealth-acc57c@nitro/I've not jumped into the conversation because I'm still trying to figure out what I think about it.  I'm one of those people who actually reads over that list; the broad view it provides is helpful in both the LWN and documentation-maintainer roles.  But it *is* painful to keep up with.LKML has traditionally been the place you post patches to get them reviewed.  If that's not its role anymore, what is it for?

       @corbet @monsieuricon But is LKML still CCed on basically everything? I didn't check, but I got the impression that sometimes it's forgotten or omitted on purpise. If that is frequently the case I wonder if it would make more sense to create some kind of "automatically filled catch all list" that better serves the needs of those that like LKML how it is.[if anyone things it's worth bringing this point to the discussion let me know]

       @kernellogger @corbet @monsieuricon I only CC lkml when:1. It's the mailing list for the subsystem (e.g. regulator),2. The subsystem mailing list is rather obscure, or not archived on lore.3. The patch fixes a serious issue or regression.

       @corbet @monsieuricon Side note: I for now decided to stay away from that discussion myself, despite having recently posted something here that goes into a similar direction (or a step further, to be a bit more precise):https://fosstodon.org/@kernellogger/111350542433445617
