I'm not falling of the face of the earth here, so people can still cc
me on MMC patches, although I probably cannot answer all of them. I
don't want to be the bottle neck that keeps MMC patches and discussions
moving at a glacial speed, which is the situation we're in today.

MMC discussions tend to often be very system specific, which makes
lists such as the arm kernel list more appropriate. Also, I've always
tried to steer people to LKML as it allows others to keep a casual eye
on things.
