Yeah, I wonder if we could add you as a Reviewer in the MAINTAINERS file
for ptrace/signal stuff? Then anyone using scripts/get_maintainers.pl
would have a CC to you added.

Also, are there more instructions about running the rr tests? When the

unclear (there seemed to be a lot of warnings and it made me think I'd
done something wrong on my end).
