This looks like a timer fix that happens to be in network code, not a network fix. Judging from the others he just posted he is fixing/upgrading timer code.
He only CC'd the kernel list. The bug was sent to davej@codemonkey.org.uk. You are askiing him to filter every piddly fix to identify which group it should go to.
I sypmathize with your position but i think you are setting up too high a barrier. When multiple poeple repeat the same mistake it is called a systems problem and you fix the system.
It strikes me that a filter subscribed to lkml could examine the postings for lines like:
--- linux-2.5.68/net/sched/sch_cbq.c 2003-03-25 10:08:36.000000000 +0530 +++ linux-2.5.68-nvk/net/sched/sch_cbq.c 2003-05-03 19:29:08.000000000 +0530
and if present recognize "this is for the network list" and send them there if the networking list isn't already specified as a destination. Such functionality, once created, could be expanded for other lists or individuals that want it.
