Sasha's "AUTOSEL" logic has been revamped and published so that now you too, can dig in the Linux kernel commit logs to find patches that developers and maintainers forgot to tag to be backported to stable kernels:

The announcement:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/aBj_SEgFTXfrPVuj@lappy/

And the code itself:
https://git.sr.ht/~sashal/autosel

@ljs If you don't want stuff picked up by AUTOSEL, let us know and you can be added to the regex of files / directories to ignore. Many subsystems do as they do properly tag stuff. But for all the others, that's why AUTOSEL is there.

@ljs I'm confused, AUTOSEL is there to pick up stuff that people don't tag that look like other bug fixes, it was created because many subsystems/maintainers do NOT tag anything, so this is needed to get those fixes.

For subsystems/authors that do properly tag them, and don't want to get picked up by AUTOSEL, let us know and they can be added to the list not to.

I thought that is what you were referring to here, if not, then I think it's time to just discuss it over beers in person :)
