I have a patch in one my trees to update the MAINTAINERS file, which
will get backported to the older kernels as well, it must be queued for
3.3, as it's not really a big deal.

And the alias is being worked on, sometimes it works, others it doesn't<
I'm not quite sure what is going on.

But either way, I will catch patches with cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or
stable@xxxxxxxxxx when they hit Linus's tree, which is the important
thing, as that's the "real" path to get patches into stable releases.

thanks,
