I see. Yeah, I only see your messages. :)

The example to hook into hotplug events and enumerate existing devices
should still work the same way by subscribing to subsytem:"usb",
devtype:"usb_device" events instead of the "video4linux" ones. All
usual properties of the device can just be retrieved with libudev.

Right, all html messages are rejected at the receiving smtp server,
they never reach kernel.org.
