Regression tracking is a very time consuming task and we should discuss how that can be improved, so that we get a sustainable solution that works for the kernel. As Thorsten already pointed out, better tooling would help. But I think this will also involve teaching our testers/users on how to best report regressions. Part of the discussion should also be on automation, for example if we could/should revive the kerneloops tool? Just my few thoughts, but if this is goind to be discussed, I'd like to particpate.
