We have a bot in nipa (mailbot.py) which follows the mailing list.
It can already update patchwork state.
I was thinking of adding support for bans there, something like
pv-bot: ban-1mo
and for a month the bot would respond "you have been banned, bla bla"
and auto-discard patches from patchwork.
That said I haven't gotten to the point of wanting to ban anyone yet.
Most of the "contributors" excrete 10+ patches in a day, then get bored
and disappear. Corporate slop may be more persistent tho, Qualcomm
employees must have gotten LLM access because we also saw slop from them
on netdev. TBH I see similar problems within Meta, tho. Random people
who can barely master Java now try to contribute upstream.
No idea what to do about all this.
One obvious thing, I guess, is that we should no longer feel obligated
to provide any meaningful feedback just because someone posted code.
