You could be disappointed then. Linus has always said that he doesn't
read it and even pretends he's not even subscribed. Greg probably doesn't
have the time given that he's flooded with the stable@ messages and
virtually every e-mail on the kernel where he's CC'd like this one. As
for Alan I'm not even sure he still manages to catch up with this volume.
I personally stopped 7 years ago after I didn't have this dedicated display
constantly on it anymore, and since then the traffic has doubled. And by
then I was only reading the subjects...

However LKML is great as a searchable public archive.
