If I marked something for stable, sending >me an email that it was applied is rather redundant. So I'd love to cancel the "Added to the stable tree" mails. I honestly don't even know why they go out: my understanding that it was for historical reasons where someone asked for those in the past, but I really feel bad about sending those out because to me they are pure spam. >> One thing I'd really like to see there would be to avoid sending each >> patch separately for every stable version, that just blows up the mail >> volume hugely especially for those of us with subsystems that carry a >> lot of quirks.

I actually did that earlier today! See the latest batch of AUTOSELs: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20250805130945.471732-1-sashal@kernel.org/T/#t Instead of one mail per tree, the subject line contains the range of trees it applies to. -- Thanks, Sasha
