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.
