Thanks Ted!  I'm half-tempted to still use linux-fsverity@...r.kernel.org, for
consistency with most of the existing lists...  But it does seem that the ship
on new lists using lists.linux.dev has already sailed.  So I think I'll go with
fsverity@...ts.linux.dev.

Any other opinions from anyone on this, or on the proposed new git repo and
branches, before I send off the helpdesk request?
