[aarch64-port-dev ] Procedural issue regarding code reviews for mainline changes

Is there a specific change you're referring to? I checked the RFRs on
this list in the last few months and I can't find any that aren't also
To/CC the appropriate hotspot-* mailing list. For patches from Arm the
policy we've been following is to send to the relevant hotspot-* list
and also copy aarch64-port-dev if it touches AArch64-specific code. I
think the way Mailman is configured, if a message is sent to multiple
lists you are subscribed to then you'll only receive it from one of
those.


Thanks,
Nick
