How are grammar corrections going to the right person (but not the
mailing list) while an entire conversion to kunit is not [1]?

Very simple: the tests are not properly included in MAINTAINERS. I
sent https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250129-xarray-test-maintainer-v1-1-482e31f30f47@gmail.com/ (local)
a few minutes ago for this reason.

I failed to notice that this patch didn't cc linux-mm.

MAINTAINERS doesn't ask people to cc linux-mm on xarray changes.

linux-mm averages 130 messages/day - I think it's reasonable to believe
that MM developers spend a few minutes a day scanning the Subject:s.

This:

MM developers have an interest in the xarray code.
