I think it's fairly safe and obvious to say that Dominik is the peer

If you want to know what's going on in PCMCIA land, subscribe to
linux-pcmcia.  In the same way that if you want to know what's going
in in IDE land, you subscribe to linux-ide, or PCI land linux-pci,
SCSI land linux-scsi, network land netdev.

Using your argument (which seems to be demanding that any patch to
any IDE driver no matter how trivial must be on linux-ide) that a patch
to a PCI network device driver must be copied to linux-pci and netdev
even though it may not touch the PCI specific code.

IDE driver -> IDE reviewers

network driver -> network reviewers

The bus associated with the driver is only a tiny detail. Many drivers (IDE!) are multi-bus, even.

Linus occasionally complains about stuff hiding on non-LKML lists... Even a CC to LKML would have been sufficient here. That was not done.
