lkml@ = linux kernel mailing list aka linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org

I think you will find the answers of all your questions here:
	http://kernelnewbies.org/UpstreamMerge

If you are looking for the recipients of your patches, IMO you should send:
	To: Paul Menage
	Cc: linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org
	Cc: containers at lists.osdl.org

cf MAINTENERS file:

CONTROL GROUPS (CGROUPS)
P:      Paul Menage
M:      menage at google.com
L:      containers at lists.linux-foundation.org
S:      Maintained
