I suspect Randy went by the MAINTAINERS entry - you might want to add netdev
as a second 'L:' line:

ETHERNET BRIDGE
M: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>
L: bridge@lists.linux-foundation.org
W: http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Net:Bridge
S: Maintained
F: include/linux/netfilter_bridge/
F: net/bridge/

To make it really clear that netdev must be Cc:-ed for those patches.

Thanks,

Ingo
