Hmm.

This pull request doesn't seem to have gotten an automatic pr-tracker
reply, even though I pulled it, and even though it was cc'd to lkml.

Konstantin, any idea why the automation didn't trigger? I'm not seeing
anything all that odd about it.

[ looks around ]

Oh, I notice that I can't seem to find this message on lore.kernel.org
either, despite seeing that lkml cc when I look at my copy of the
email.

Does lkml hate Dan?

Headers say

To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>
CC: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>,
"[email protected]" <[email protected]>
...
Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2018 05:04:27 +0000
Message-ID: <[email protected]>

but when I try to look it up on lore.kernel.org, I get:

Message-ID <[email protected]>
not found

Weird.

Linus

As you've noticed, it's not on lore, and it's also not on any other LKML
archive out there (I've checked lkml.org, lkml.iu.edu, marc.info). So,
I'm not sure precisely what happened, but it would appear that despite
the CC in the headers, the mail never actually passed vger.

I wonder if vger doesn't properly process "CC" headers when both letters
are caps, but it's a very thin guess. As I don't have any access to
vger, I can't shed much more light on this either.

I suspect this is the case, or more specifically this is likely one of
those times where vger needed to put the Intel mail servers in a
time-out for bouncing too many mails.
