There's already linux-firmware@kernel.org (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:
linux-firmware@kernel.org linux-firmware@vger.kernel.org
Maybe rename the new list to linux-fw-dev@vger.kernel.org or something like that to make it more obvious which one is which?
