As you said, you also intended to include gitlab in the list. So, things that I think could be better, or more widely known, would be how to trigger Azure CI runs (as there's good resources available for free) and GitLab for non-custodians. By which I mean, anyone can get a CI run on Azure today via a GitHub PR. Making that known more widely would be good. For patch review, are there any of the Linux kernel bots that are well enough documented for someone else to pick up and use? I feel like our biggest problems are: - Lack of reviewers in general for various areas. - Lack of feedback to users (developers) before being picked up for general changes. For the second problem, I feel like some of the Linux bots would be a little helpful, but probably require some tweaking (figure out when / how to fire off more limited CI, or just do a daily CI run vs every patch, given the size of our CI build). -- Tom
