And I'm sorry if that came of a little terse. Honestly since the advent of web based mail/news viewers I've never really bothered with using one so I'm fairly ignorant.

My point was you're not asking the maintainer of the git mailing list to change something. You're asking the maintainers of all mailing lists run from vger.kernel.org to change something (i.e. a much greater scale). Again my ignorance as to how things are run at kernel.org may be distorting reality.

You may get more mileage out of asking the developers of the majordomo software [1]. But even if they do make a change it may take a while to be deployed on kernel.org
