Or would you suggest to use a webpage (W:) for that or a Subsystem Profile document (P:) here? Using either of the two latter was the plan, but for now I'm a bit unsure what to write there except maybe "Thorsten is working on a semi-automatic solution for tracking Linux kernel regressions. Details will follow. For now report regressions as outlined in reporting-issues.rst; but in case you have any problem or think there is a regressions not handled appropriately by the maintainers, get him involved, he'll try to help". Or did you have something totally different in mind? Ciao, Thorsten
