The testing effort is increasing throughout the community. The tests are generally merged into the subsystem trees, and are of relatively narrow interest. The patch volume on linux-kselftest@vger.kernel.org makes it hard to follow the changes to the framework, and discuss proposals.
Create a new ML focused on the framework of kselftests, which will hopefully be similarly low volume to the workflows@ mailing list.
From the responses to v1 I gather that the preference is to keep the existing list for all (or create an alias to it); the framework-only section should be the one to have a new list created.
Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org --- Sorry for the delay, the responses to v1 weren't super positive but I keep thinking this would be very useful :) Or at the very least I find workflows@ very useful and informative as a maintainer.
Posting as an RFC because we need to create the new ML.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20241003142328.622730-1-kuba@kernel.org
