To think he was scheduled to be added as a reviewer for literally all of lib/ recently (5) until various of us pushed back on it :/ [5]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260308202425.C9EE4C116C6@smtp.kernel.org/ Is it really that easy to game the system?... I hate the asymmetry of this - we have to jump on these every time and they can send WAY more mail than we can reasonably reply to. I think we need a clear 'yeeting' mechanism to block these people on everything once discovered. Sadly the kernel has been historically very poor on getting rid of problem people (The CoC is essentially a swear monitor at this stage). In the face of this new kind of threat we probably need to do a lot better. > > > > There's a github with the same name ([4]), and that same user made a comment on an > > openclaw issue relating to linking it to gemini ([5]). > > > > So it seems likely he/she is likely using openclaw to fully automate this 'Josh > > Law' user and we're speaking to a bot here. > > > > (Screenshots have been taken for the (possibly inevitable) deleting that will > > happen later.) > > > > [3]:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260313-halskette-annahme-94e782eb4ae4@brauner/ > > [4]:https://github.com/techyguyperplexable > > [5]:https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/44134#issuecomment-4106247302 > > > > Best regards, > Krzysztof Thanks, Lorenzo
