Hmm. I get totally different results. You had

linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx>,
"David S. Miller" <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

and I get

Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>
David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>
Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

so there is something odd going on there.
