Hello live-patching maintainers,

I've noticed several references to the Sashiko (https://sashiko.dev/)
kernel review bot on this list and was wondering if there is interest in adding live-patching to the mailing lists Sashiko tracks.

Integration appears straightforward: we can submit an MR to add our entry to sashiko-k8s.yaml and customize the bot's email behavior in email_policy.toml.

Full Sashiko Maintainer documentation is available here:
https://github.com/sashiko-dev/sashiko/blob/main/MAINTAINERS_GUIDE.md

Personally, I would vote to set reply_to_author. I don't have a strong opinion on the other custom options, provided that the CC list is opt-in rather than simply mirrored from the MAINTAINERS::LIVE PATCHING file. Either way, I've found the Sashiko web interface very helpful in patch review.

I think it is a great idea. AFAICT, these bots add a lot of values in the code reviews.

Given the relatively low volume of patches to the livepatch mail list, I think we can use reply_all. But if folks prefer reply_to_author instead, we sure can use the cc list.

Thanks,

We can start with reply_to_author for some time before opting for reply_all. At least in my last patches, it was quite good and helpful.

I would vote reply_all. The signal/noise ratio isn't perfect, but it's high enough to be useful in many cases. That way the maintainers/reviewers are aware of any potential issues, and it avoids duplicating review work and fragmenting conversations.

I agree. And it might even motivate us to update the subsystem specific review prompts so that the review gets improved over time.

+1 for livepatch specific prompts. We sure have some unique constraints due to the nature of livepatch.
