Correct. This is the address I sign off all my commits with, and this
is the one I use to associate with authorship because it uses my
initials.

MAINTAINERS lists the addresses I prefer email for the day to day
maintanence, which is my linux@ accounts. The above addresses
also fall into _this_ mailbox too, rather than my rmk@ mailbox.
So, ultimately all that email comes to the same place.
However, the plain rmk@ address doesn't.

The reason for the change is so I can drop the routing information
rmk+kernel at arm.linux.org.uk, thereby causing that address to start
bouncing, rather than being a spam inlet. Sure, the new one will
be as well, but the point is that keeping both around indefinitely
gives a bigger attack surface for spam ingress.
