Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2024 09:18:29 +0200 From: Thorsten Leemhuis <linux@...mhuis.info> To: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, Sasha Levin <sashal@...nel.org> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@....net>, stable@...r.kernel.org, workflows@...r.kernel.org, linux-doc@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] docs: stable-kernel-rules: explain use of stable@...nel.org (w/o @vger.) Document when to use of stable@...nel.org instead of stable@...r.kernel.org, as the two are easily mixed up and their difference not explained anywhere[1].
