Message-ID: <b452fd54-fdc6-47e4-8c26-6627f6b7eff3@leemhuis.info> Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2024 09:48:18 +0200 From: Thorsten Leemhuis <linux@...mhuis.info> To: helpdesk@...nel.org Cc: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, "workflows@...r.kernel.org" <workflows@...r.kernel.org>, LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Please create the email alias do-not-apply-to-stable@...nel.org -> /dev/null Hi kernel.org helpdesk! Could you please create the email alias do-not-apply-to-stable@...nel.org which redirects all mail to /dev/null, just like stable@...nel.org does? That's an idea GregKH brought up a few days ago here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/2024041123-earthling-primarily-4656@gregkh/ To quote: > How about: > cc: <do-not-apply-to-stable@...nel.org> # Reason goes here, and must be present > > and we can make that address be routed to /dev/null just like > <stable@...nel.org> is? There was some discussion about using something shorter, but in the end there was no strong opposition and the thread ended a a few days ago. The goal is to have a tag that developers can use in Linux kenrel commits that have a Fixes: tag, but nevertheless should not be backported by the stable-team without explicit request. The thread linked above explains this in more detail. Once the address exists I'll resubmit the patches in question that will document the tag. Is asking for this here like this the right way? If I need to file a ticket somewhere or some ack from a higher authority, just let me know! Ciao, Thorsten
