Since DAMON has merged into the mainline, I periodically received some questions around DAMON's mailing lists based workflow. The workflow is not different from the normal ones that well documented, but it is also true that it is not always easy and familiar for everyone. I personally overcame it by developing and using a simple tool, named HacKerMaiL (hkml)[1]. Based on my experience, I believe it is matured enough to be used for simple workflows like that of DAMON. Actually some DAMON contributors and Linux kernel developers other than myself told me they are using the tool. As DAMON maintainer, I also believe helping new DAMON community members onboarding to the worklow is one of the most important parts of my responsibilities. For the reason, the tool is announced[2] to support DAMON community. To further increasing the visibility of the fact, document the tool and the support plan on DAMON maintainer's profile.
