While I understand the wish to automate things like this, the #syz marking will actually cause something to go off and do some work, and is only relevant for a very small number of developers, all of whom know to look up the instructions before doing so. But the #regzb marking will be requested to be added by random users who never have submitted a problem report before, OR from long-time kernel developers who are lucky to ever remember to read the documentation as they "know" how to do this. So this increased workload by people on the two ends of experience is going to be rough, I predict a very low rate of adoption :( What is the tag going to be good for? The reports will need to be handled by a person anyway and classified and tracked out-of-band from the list somehow. Will a tag do all that much here? thanks, greg k-h
