Yesterday someone on my lists just sent an email looking for kernel tasks. This was a university student in a kernel programming class. We also have kernel-janitors and outreachy and those people are always asking for small tasks. One thing that I sometimes say as a reviewer is "This isn't caused by to your patch but I noticed something wrong." We could add that kind of thing to a todo list by using a KTODO line. KTODO: add check for failure in function_something() Then people can look on lore or use lei to find small tasks to work on or they could use lei. lei q -I https://lore.kernel.org/all/ -o ~/Mail/KTODO --dedupe=mid 'KTODO AND rt:6.month.ago..' Then grep ^KTODO ~/Mail/KTODO -R and cat the filename you want. regards, dan carpenter
