Syzbot is actually reacting here to this bug from the Android namespace:

In this particular case, syzbot has captured all the recipients from
the patch email [1], because that email Cc'd
syzbot+15cd994e273307bf5cfa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. To syzbot, all
these people were involved in the original bug discussion, and so it
notified them about the problem.

FWIW I've sent a PR[2] to make the "I can't find it in any tested
tree" message include the link to the syzkaller dashboard. Hopefully
it will help resolve such confusions faster.
