It was a manual process when I had linux-kbuild created.
I contacted marc and one other place I do not recall right now.

I expect that Dave Miller can set up linux-...@vger.kernel.org in a
jiffy.  A MAINTAINERS patch should be made if this is done.

What I am unsure about is whether and how web-based archives of the vger
lists come into being - is it automatic, or should people be asked?

I think an MMC list wouldnt be a bad idea now that we have a sort of

I'll try to compose a list of outstanding discussions and patches so
that people know what needs attention. I'll try to get that done in the
next few days.

I use the public specs from sdcard.org for more or less everything. I
also have a MMC 4 spec, which was generously donated to me by Nokia.
Unfortunately I am not allowed to pass that on. I can look things up
for people if they have specific questions though.

I'm not falling of the face of the earth here, so people can still cc
me on MMC patches, although I probably cannot answer all of them. I
don't want to be the bottle neck that keeps MMC patches and discussions
moving at a glacial speed, which is the situation we're in today.

MMC discussions tend to often be very system specific, which makes
lists such as the arm kernel list more appropriate. Also, I've always
tried to steer people to LKML as it allows others to keep a casual eye
on things.

There does not appear to be a simplified version of the 3.00 specification.
