The I recommend just telling people to send a message to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org and linking to https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for more details. While "sub/unsub" links will do the job for some people, webmail users may not have things properly configured to correctly process the mailto: links. -K

Kyle, thanks for noticing the majordomo deprecation.

What’s the difference between `Reported-by` and `Noticed-by`? `Reported-by` is documented in `SubmittingPatches` but not the other one. Is perhaps `Reported-by` specifically meant for bug reports? Thanks

Is perhaps `Reported-by` specifically meant for bug > reports? It should be reported-by as the recent trend is to dedup similar ones without much meaningful distinction and stick to those that are listed in the document. It was just me being careless and picked one that used to be relatively common without even thinking: $ git rev-list --since 1.year --grep=Noticed-by: --count master 2 $ git rev-list --since 1.year --grep=Reported-by: --count master 54 $ git rev-list --since 5.year --until 4.year --grep=Noticed-by: --count master 4 $ git rev-list --since 5.year --until 4.year --grep=Reported-by: --count master 102 $ git rev-list --since 10.year --until 9.year --grep=Noticed-by: --count master 12 $ git rev-list --since 10.year --until 9.year --grep=Reported-by: --count master 54 There probably is a subtle difference perceived between the two by those who used noticed-by over the years and I think you guessed their intention right.
