@kernellogger isn't it standard practice for the developer to explicitly cc: stable@... ?
I mean there's nothing that _ensures_ a regression gets picked up/dealt with in first place right? It's all kind of dependent on the dev doing the right thing/people noticing as with regressions.
I guess perhaps some subsystems are better at picking things up than others?

@kernellogger yeah this is a pity. We maybe need a new tag that gets enforced by reviewers/bots/maintainers shouted at by Linus if not adhered to like like Fix-Regression: ...
I guess in mm we tend to generally do (fairly) well with these

@broonie @kernellogger problem is enforcing that people do the cc: stable bit.
Maybe Linus needs to be granted pope-like powers to state things ex cathedra?
