Sorry, currently we disable the auto patch, this sentence "Please review and possibly fold the followup patch"
is misleading. We will not have follow up patch before we can have human to
do a check.

Got it, we also think the Fixes tag in the proposed patch brings confusion
if the "bad" commit is in development state. So far, we haven't exposed a
way to feedback the "Fixes: won't work", but we will work on some level
of mail based communication in 2nd half this year, which can simplify the
communication like this.

Anyway, we now disable the auto patch to avoid bring confusion and sometimes
wrong patch without human check.
