Some of us have been doing this for 5+ years :/

These and the few other patches that I didn't tag for stable myself are
the only ones I try to review reliably, the others I already looked at
for stable at least once and especially where things are automated it's
better to have some manual checking.  It's good that Sasha's stuff is
flagged now, and most other submissions are obvious as well, so that's
fairly easy to do and means that the review burden is relatively light.
