Were did you actually sent them to?  Apparently you sent them to each mailing
list (at least linux-embedded and linuxppc-dev) _separately_ (or using bcc).

Hence different people may give the same comments without knowing about each
other, and you may have to explain everything multiple times.

I would go for lkml and linux-embedded, _together_.
