If you can provide suitable commit messages which indicate you are
fixing real problems. We get way too many AI generated patches which
fix theoretical issues which nobody ever encounters. That is wasting a
lot of Reviewer time, preventing me and other reviewers from helping
developers doing real work adding new hardware support, or fixing bugs
which both them. Those are the people which i prefer to help, not the
newbies using AI and have never taken Operating Systems 101.
