I received your patchbot's reply about 15 minutes before you sent this.
I suggest you might move one year to patchwork (ie: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/list/) and adapt that as necessary, but whatever works for you.
btw:
patches@arm.linux.org.uk is not documented at all in the kernel sources. You could fix that if you want other people to know what you do.
