Btw, since you do these bisections (great!), it would be doubly useful
if you then (automatically?) would add the people involved with the
particular commit to the cc. At least the ones that signed off and/or
acked the commit (that jump-label commit has a lot of people on the
cc, but if they never _responded_ to the cc, I'm not sure that they
should necessarily be disturbed).

The people who signed off on it hopefully are aware of any
dependencies for that commit, in ways that Greg himself (or the stable
team) may not be.


Yes, I know. Quite often I do that. I didn't do it today because of time
constraints and, in the hurry I was in, I simply forgot.

Doing the bisects automatically would be great. Unfortunately that part
(and sending the e-mail) is all manual, and I don't think I'll find the
time anytime soon to automate it.
