How do I get the XFS folks to send their stuff to -stable? (we have quite a few customers who use XFS)
If XFS (or *any* other subsystem) doesn't have enough manpower of upstream maintainers to deal with stable, we just have to accept that and find an answer to that.
If XFS folks claim that they don't have enough mental capacity to create/verify XFS backports, I totally don't see how any kind of AI would have.
If your business relies on XFS (and so does ours, BTW) or any other subsystem that doesn't have enough manpower to care for stable, the proper solution (and contribution) would be just bringing more people into the XFS community.
To put it simply -- I don't think the simple lack of actual human brainpower can be reasonably resolved in other way than bringing more of it in.
Thanks,
