Nobody talked about the Linux kernel, I do not know what nonsense you
are spewing here.

But you do not seem tu realize that the best hackers in the project (not
you) have nothing to do with the best hackers in the Linux kernel.

You know perfectly well that any sentence that starts like that is a lie
and is meant to offence.

> Tools are only good as you use them.

Yet, other people manage to use mail efficiently to interact with the
project.

So, what does it mean when a person does not manage to achieve a task
when others do?

Option 1: that person is incompetent.
Option 2: that person is using bad tools.
Option 3: both.

(Remember, choosing good tools is part of competence.)

The fact that you do not realize that I have been doing that for fifteen
years shows how little you know.

Also, I was only invited officially after more than four years of
contributing, including non trivial patches and significant new
features. Apparently, nowadays, all it takes is a few months of moving
code around and fixing warnings.

The one you should be building for yourself if you have what it takes to
be useful here.

I do not care about every contributor, I care about skilled
contributors.

It is happening because many people here are too nerdy to remember that
a human problem cannot be fixed with technical solution. The issue with
reviewing patches is that we do not have enough people who know the code
well enough to review them. Making it easier to flood us with crappy
patches written by AI will not make it better.

> I understand fear of a change.

Please keep this condescending bullshit to yourself.
