Yes, this is correct, but watch out, this isn't going to keep patches
from being sent to the driverdevel mailing list and me applying them
directly.

Personally, I'll never cc: your hpdd mailing list, as I get bounces from
it, and don't feel that kernel mailing lists should ever be "closed"
(I run an open kernel mailing list, it can be done, and isn't all that
hard...)

So I'll go apply this, but don't really like it...
