Thx for taking a look. Hmm. That's possible, but I (and the grep call I just ran) fail to spot the typo. Maybe the wording is to confusing: regressions@lists.linux.dev is the list, regressions@leemhuis.info is a dedicated email address I (the kernel's regression tracker) use for regression tracking (which reminds me: maybe I should ask for a alias like regressions@kernel.org or regression-tracker@kernel.org). Ciao, Thorsten
