Indeed.  Every single time a patch comes into linux-rdma that touches
things in net/ or include/net, unless it is exceedingly minor, I check
the To:/Cc: lines on the email and if netdev@ isn't included, or in the
case of complex/tricky items, you aren't directly Cc:ed, then I
specifically tell them to include netdev@ and/or you.  I've even had
things like a 12 patch series that buried three netdev@ appropriate
patches at different points in the series and told the submitter to
move all of the netdev@ related patches to the front and submit them to
netdev@ so they can be reviewed as a group before I would move on to
the others.  It's just what you do.  I've always considered that part
of my job.
