Hi Greg,

I am trying to get familiar with stable release process, because we
would like to start testing stable release candidates. But I cannot get
all the nuances how to get automatically information regarding rc code
ready to be tested.

Also I wonder how we could automatically detect situations when stable
release is expected to became diverged from the rc, e.g. like
[PATCH 5.10 033/306] cpufreq: schedutil: Use kobject release() method to
free sugov_tunables
was dropped from 5.10.67 without announcing the 5.10.67-rc2?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Best regards,
Alexey Khoroshilov,
