Re: Create printk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Chris Hoy Poy]

Hi all,

Apologies for the delays on this mailing list - it was dependant on
the migration to the new listserv infrastructure. As announced earlier
this week, that migration is complete and new lists are being
provisioned.

The printk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list is now operational:

address: printk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
archives: https://lore.kernel.org/printk/

with the owners as specified:

Owners     : pmladek@xxxxxxxx, john.ogness@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
andy@xxxxxxxxxx, rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx

Any queries or issues, please reach out to helpdesk@xxxxxxxxxx

cheers
