Jonathan Corbet (corbet@social.kernel.org)'s status on Wednesday, 08-Nov-2023 10:44:43 JSTJonathan Corbet On the radar: what is the linux-kernel mailing list for? @monsieuricon is suggesting that many or most patch postings be redirected to a separate list:
https://lwn.net/ml/ksummit-discuss/20231106-venomous-raccoon-of-wealth-acc57c@nitro/
I've not jumped into the conversation because I'm still trying to figure out what I think about it. I'm one of those people who actually reads over that list; the broad view it provides is helpful in both the LWN and documentation-maintainer roles. But it *is* painful to keep up with.
LKML has traditionally been the place you post patches to get them reviewed. If that's not its role anymore, what is it for?
