The lore.kernel.org link came from KernelCI but it does not look like
they do bisecting to identify the commit and notify the authors. It was
just sent to the linux-next mailing list.

It is just for the two weeks of the merge window to ensure the tree
actually stabilizes. This is how it has always been.

I think Mark meant to say 7.2 but still. Not trying to sound like a cop
or anything but the more problems there are in the tree, the harder it
is to triage new failures and perform additional testing.
