That's actually the public email address for the whole Linux
engineering team (including engineers and managers) at Dell, of which
Narendra is a part.  It's the address we publish for people to include
on the cc: list of bugzilla issues on the kernel.org, Novell, and Red
Hat bugzillas.  This ensures someone on the team will see bug reports
or patches and act accordingly, likely Narendra, but could be anyone
in the future once Narendra is promoted or changes responsibilities
(or even employers).
