@monsieuricon even if not a bot (but a juvenile human operator of bots), definitely not one I'd give it to, if possible.

@axboe @monsieuricon he's almost certainly using openclaw connected to gemini to send series without human intervention.
But he sometimes replies probably as a real person, who is an internet troll and enjoying toying with us most likely.
It's that or a nefarious state actor, in either case nobody we want involved in the kernel.

@linux.dev is for maintainers, right? So that's the answer.
To submit patches via SMTP and receive email to a sane IMAP client he can as well use Gmail account - works well and is free. Many people do it, so that's also not a reason to get @linux.dev.
He was told to slow down and learn, but I only see actions still in pursue of some maintainership or other involvement beyond learning. Asking for @linux.dev also feels like asking to legitimize identity or at least get some boost in reputation.
You boost reputation by not sending microslop, not by getting @linux.dev.

@krzk @axboe @monsieuricon I thought linux.dev was more so for enthuasists and kernel.org for maintainers?
But obviously I substantively agree with what you say, he's probably wanting an account like this to see more legitimate/cover his tracks more.
The guy's abusing the system as it is, and should be treated like any troll - i.e. not given anything.
We need better mechanisms to block people like this.
Before the difficulty of sending patches was enough of a barrier, but with AI now any old idiot can start playing games like this :)
Wild times guys

@ljs @axboe @monsieuricon Ah, true, maintainer/reviewer OR “ongoing history with Linux kernel development”: https://korg.docs.kernel.org/linuxdev.html
kernel.org is for maintainers handling code, but there are many people listed in MAINTAINERS which do not handle the code but have M: status, mostly for individual drivers.

@krzk @axboe @monsieuricon yeah have seen a bunch of maintainers use it as well to be fair!
