I've been thinking about this too for a while now. There is something
like half of the email volume which are (semi-)automated emails
containing patches moving from a GIT tree to another. I think that
moving this to some linux-dev or something like this would :

1) reduce the noise on LKML so that problem reports are better caught
2) reduce the global email volume because instead of sending all these
emails to 10-20000 persons(?), only maybe a thousand will be subscribed.
3) reduce even more the latency between post and publication due to 2.

I don't know if others would be interested, in which case it would be wise
to poll on the subject and include Matti and Davem to the discussion.

Regards,
Willy
