Is new and I would be the first to opt-in:)
My rationale for #3 is that even when being careful about stable tags,
it happens that one is missing. Occasionaly AUTOSEL finds one of those
in my subsystems which I appreciate.
Does that make more sense now?
I like this!
Might be a bit overbroad as it also includes x86/kvm, x86/xen, x86/pci
which I'm not that involved with, but to make it simple for you, I just
volunteered the relevant maintainers (CCed) to participate in that
experiment.
I would opt in to MANUALSEL too; so Sasha, feel free to do the same for
everything that I'm involved in by the MAINTAINERS file, or we can start
with x86/kvm via the generic x86 entries.
Thanks,
Paolo
