Hey, I couldn't care less on what list ARM development happens on. All I
wanted to do is point out that the way you handle your mailing list is a
PITA for contributors that would like to send occasional ARM patches but
don't want to invest the energy to subscribe to your list. And yes, even
if it's a moderated list, not a subscriber-only list, it's a PITA all
the same.

I really have no interest in arguing about it because it's the ARM
community that's losing out, not me. (Or maybe you're just not
interested in minor contributors, dunno.)
