Actually, no - one of the patches accidentally included a file from 
meta-poky. Still, could be reported better:

1) Should refer to a specific patch where the issue is
2) Should, if possible, refer to specific files in the patch that are 
causing the problem.
3) The problem is not the wrong mailing list, the problem is that the 
patch should be splitted up and sent to several lists :)

In general, why run these checks after the patches have been already 
posted for review? That is adding unnecessary friction. Why not have 
them as a git hook, that is run locally when making the commit?
