Of course that could be done if I knew that there were problems. From memory and my mail archives, I was only cc'd on 3 problems by sysbot since last November and they were all responded to by the appropriate maintainers/developers. Currently, when I am cc'd on reports, if they are also sent to who seem like the appropriate people, I just file the report assuming it will be dealt with. > Kicking trees out of linux-next and making noise if they cause syzbot > failures might also make some maintainers react more.. That may be true, but in some cases I have carried fixups/reverts/older versions of trees for quite some time before things get fixed. But at least if that happens, I do tend to remind people. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
