Not that it matters much, but feel free to use this instead:

CC: regressions@lists.linux.dev

Then things don't depend on me (in case I ever get help with my cat

fixes a regression to anyone who handles it downstream.

That's a commit from 6.1, hence this should likely have:

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 6.1.y

[no, a fixes tag alone does not suffice, see docs]
