There are also a lot of syzbot-detected fix commits that did not apply cleanly, but the conflicts seem to be quite straightforward to resolve manually. Could you please share what the current process is with respect to such fix patches? For example, are you sending emails asking developers to adjust the non-applied patch (if they want), or is it the other way around -- you expect the authors to be proactive and send the adjusted patch versions themselves?

We expect someone to send us patches, we aren't going to be able to do it ourselves :)
