Your entries in the MAINTAINERS file for TIPC; Would it be too much to ask that you list the *correct* email addresses for people in there instead of the @nospam.ericsson.com obfuscated ones? As I see it, listing the obfuscated addresses buys you nothing, since you are using the real address to post to a public (and widely archived) mailing list anyway, and has a few real drawbacks: - some users (especially users who are not native english speakers) may not realize that the "nospam." bit should be taken out and thus you may miss emails. - it adds extra work (small, but still) on everyone who looks up the maintainer for TIPC to send you guys emails to parse the addr and realize the addr needs to be edited and then actually edit it instead of just cut'n'paste. - it's somewhat annoying. I even opted to send the patch to both the @nospam.ericsson.com and @ericsson.com addresses since I didn't know if "nospam." was to be taken out or if it was just some subdomain you used specifically for communication on public lists that you then did extra SPAM filtering on - there's no way to know. If you are worried about getting extra SPAM by being listed in MAINTAINERS, why don't you just create an extra email alias that you list in MAINTAINERS and use for LKML stuff - that alias you can then do extra filtering on, dump in a seperate mailbox/folder/whatever... I don't think you actually gain anything by your current scheeme.
