Please note that this change is just a few days away. Starting on:

        01 May 2021

patchsets should be sent to:

        containers at lists.linux.dev

Subscribers without any active patchsets don't need to do anything
(apart from maybe updating any potential mail filters :)). Please
re-read the mail for information about how the switch will happen.
