I am not sure what you mean -- it is not just the mailing list, the
maintainers and the reviewers of both entries were not Cc'd either.
So like 9 Ccs are missing...

linux-next is only meant for patches that are already reviewed, tested
and destined for the merge window.
It is not meant for experimental patches, and adding those, especially
this late in the kernel cycle, can break other people's CIs and
systems at the worst possible time. If every maintainers put random
patches in linux-next, then it would be unusable...
(There are exceptions, of course, but only if people is aware and in
agreement...)

The above errors are already a technical problem -- they break the
Clippy and docs build!
I assume Andreas or Boqun will eventually take a look at the patch now
that they know about its existence (is there a particular reason to
rush?).

No, please drop it now -- the patch shouldn't have been applied to
linux-next yet, since the maintainers didn't ack it (they just
realized it exists...), it is not reviewed (apart from Sashiko), it is
not tested enough (given the errors above) and not destined for the
next merge window (for all the reasons before).
Thanks!
Cheers,
