[removed ixgbe/igb Intel maintainers, and Linus from the email thread]
Added a more appropriate mailing list (netdev)

We currently have the kernel patches in review and testing to update the
e1000e driver to v1.4.4.  I should be able to push some, if not all of
the changes upstream later this week.
