Doug,

thanks for looking into the issue!

Yeah, that looks plausible that the vger-lists are missing.

This list is moderated for non-subscribers, probably that's why.

OK, so I probably got the mail because I was on CC (and not via the
i2c-list). Interestingly, gmane has the patch in the i2c-archive:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1442376/focus=56428

Yet, spinics and marc.info do not have it. So, it seems gmane has some
extra logic?

> Perhaps I should have trimmed down the list?

I'd wonder. vger should be used to large CC lists.

Ah, didn't know about 'patman', might have a look later. get_maintainer
is nice, yet I usually use it with --no-git to only CC the maintainers,
not the contributors for such kind of cleanups.

Thanks for doing the cleanup :)
