Well, "K: regression" is not a regex, so that's not going to really help much. How about something simple like: KERNEL REGRESSIONS: M: Thorsten Leemhuis L: regressions@lists.linux.dev S: Supported That looks a bit more like other entries, has a name and a list and a state of your status for this work. Would that work? thanks, greg k-h
