What is involved in "re-examine to pick and choose the ones to be kept" was to go to the original thread (which should not be too hard, as Taylor has maintained the "source:" line in the report well during my absense) see general consensus and the reason behind the consensus back then still applies today. So another way people can help the process is to say something like "After re-reading the https://lore.kernel.org/git/$THIS thread, and particularly reading $THAT message from $TRUSTWORTHY_REVIEWER, what the $TOPIC wants to do and how it does it are both sensible." No self promotion, though ;-)
