Hmm. I get totally different results. You had

  linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org
  Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>,
  Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>,
  Jiri Slaby <jslaby@...e.cz>,
  "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>

and I get

  Al Viro <viro@...IV.linux.org.uk>
  Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>
  Helge Deller <deller@....de>
  David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>
  Hugh Dickins <hughd@...gle.com>
  linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org

so there is something odd going on there.
