There's already [email protected] (an alias I think, not sure) for submitting patches to linux-firmware.git. I think it will be confusing if we will have two separate linux-firmware destinations under kernel.org domain: [email protected] [email protected] Maybe rename the new list to [email protected] or something like that to make it more obvious which one is which? -- Kalle Valo
