Thanks for the suggestion. Wouldn't this lead to incorrect author info
in Git, though? DMARC and Patchwork work fine with other mailing lists!

Thanks for the explanation on the backport policy. My patches don't fall
into either 'bug fixes' or 'device support' category. They have already
been accepted into OpenWrt master, so I assume they are everywhere
where it is still possible to add them.
