I will append under the "Shortly after..." text something like:

  "If you aren't subscribed to netdev and/or are simply unsure
  if net-next has re-opened yet, simply check the net-next git
  repository link above for any new networking related commits."

That "link above" would be this:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git
