My bad. I've always sucked at filling out paperwork, and I didn't expect
this to go in as is. But for the sake of following the official
procedures (well, step 11 of of SubmittingPatches, it's not mentioned in
any of the 26 steps of SubmitChecklist), here's the requested certification:

I sent one, which made it to the archive...

$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl j2-oldfiles.patch | grep Greg
Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:SERIAL DRIVERS)

Sorry, my bad, I was trying to follow the documented procedure.
Personally I'd have trimmed the cc: list but filling things out in
triplicate seems to be all the rage these days.

As I mentioned in 0/2, yes. But "release early, release often" and all that.

(Or did we stop doing that now the Linux Foundation's in charge? I'm
still stuck in the hobbyist era from back before we had a foundation
with committees and a hierarchy where you need to go through proper
channels and three dozen patch submission steps in two different files
and all that. I'm trying to keep up, but I've always been really bad at
bureaucracy...)
