So I appreciate this email coming from your old email address, but I
also just want to note that as long as you then use the oracle email
address for sending email, commit authorship, and "Signed-off-by:" (or
Acked-by etc) addresses, those tend to be the ones that _primarily_
get used when people then CC you on issues.

Well, at least that's how I work. The MAINTAINERS file tends to be the
secondary one.

But I wish you best of luck with the new email setup ;)
