@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 :)
