Exactly what I was thinking of: 'linux-patches@kernel.org'. The idea is, instead of putting [PATCH] on your subject line and cc'ing it to Linus, you mail it to linux-patches with a cc to lkml if you like (depending on size of patch, how interesting, etc). In any event, linux-patches will forward a copy to Linus.
