That's reasonable and useful form. BTW for stable testing, it could be more convenient to specify the branch names:
stable/linux-4.9.y stable/linux-4.4.y stable/linux-3.10.y
There is also the RC stable tree available:
linux-stable-rc/linux-4.9.y linux-stable-rc/linux-4.4.y
BTW it looks a bit inconsistent about the tree names "stable" and "linux-stable-rc". These are the current names the robot refer to each git tree:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/wfg/lkp-tests.git/tree/repo/linux/stable https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/wfg/lkp-tests.git/tree/repo/linux/linux-stable-rc
I could rename the latter to "stable-rc" if no other opinions.

Yes.

Sure. In fact we currently search for the tags in the whole email body.

There are dozens of mailing lists monitored, so the CC could grow too large to look "normal". So I changed the email subject to make it more obvious to people.

Thank you! Fengguang
