Thx for taking a look. Hmm. That's possible, but I (and the grep call I
just ran) fail to spot the typo.

Maybe the wording is to confusing: regressions@...ts.linux.dev is the
list, regressions@...mhuis.info is a dedicated email address I (the
kernel's regression tracker) use for regression tracking (which reminds
me: maybe I should ask for a alias like regressions@...nel.org or
regression-tracker@...nel.org).

Ciao, Thorsten
