It isn't, it's an alias for rmk at ...

How about people making my life easier by following the Internet RFCs
when it comes to which addresses should be in To: and Cc: ?
Then I can follow the information which my mail client gives me - that
is, the marking of each message which indicates whether I'm listed in
the To: header or the Cc: header, or indeed not listed at all.
Right now, scanning my mailbox for messages with me in the To: header
leads to /lots/ of crap. This is precisely why I stated a while back
that I want pull requests for me to pull to go to linux+pull at ... I
can then get my mail client to filter the mailbox for messages addressed
"To:" that address, which then gives me all the pull requests that people
want me to action.
