I suspect Randy went by the MAINTAINERS entry - you might want to add netdev 
as a second 'L:' line:

 ETHERNET BRIDGE
 M:      Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
 L:      bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 W:      http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Net:Bridge
 S:      Maintained
 F:      include/linux/netfilter_bridge/
 F:      net/bridge/

To make it really clear that netdev must be Cc:-ed for those patches.

Thanks,

	Ingo
