No worry. It's just Linus and Greg who got some extra mail into their
inbox. The flow is that the patch is picked up by the maintainer and
pushed into his git tree which is then offered to Linus for pulling it
into mainline. We add a Cc: stable@kernel.org tag to the commit, which
triggers a notifier to the stable kernel team when the patch hits
Linus tree.
