Heh. Indeed.
What seems to have happened is that somebody long ago sent an email
with a missing comma (so "linux-alpha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<linux-arm-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>" - *intending* to send to both,
but ending up with the linux-alpha list being the "name" for the
linux-arm one).
And then I replied to that email, and it got picked up as my automatic
contact. So when I replied to linux-arm-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
and it had no name, my automatic contacts helpfully filled in that
bogus name for that list ;)
I will fix.
I note that because *you* had added the right name for the list, this
reply didn't even try to use that bogus contact name.
