Thorsten Leemhuis writes
about his plans
for improving the kernel’s regression handling in the
coming year.

Top-priority will be “make regzbot more useful for kernel subsystem
maintainers” from now on. My tracking efforts of course will
continue, but everything except regressions in the current and the
previous mainline cycle might not see much attention from my
side. This refocusing also means that I won’t work much on
resolving some ambiguities around “how regressions are supposed to
be handled” which lead to tension quite a few times. But all that
should be for the best in the long term.
