I've just realized that it also happened with 0-day here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240917-blktrace-algn-v1-1-9fb54b7b1dfa@samsung.com/#t

The answer from 0-day went to the same wrong devnull B4 Relay address.

And lore's git-send-email + mailto: Reply instruction section is using the wrong
address as well. I'm not sure why is the Reply instructions [1] section using
>From instead of Reply-To?

[1] Reply instructions:
git send-email \
	--in-reply-to=20240917-blktrace-algn-v1-1-9fb54b7b1dfa at samsung.com \
	--to=devnull+da.gomez.samsung.com at kernel.org \
	...
	/path/to/YOUR_REPLY
