Ah yes, the system that has worked perfectly 24-7 for 30some years just started to not work so well coincidentally around the time LLMs took off and started spamming it.
A mailing list is a terrible “system” for reporting bugs. The real problem is how many people can easily find these bugs now, and how there is no good method for reporting them.
It works fine for its intended usecase. The problem is that AI-based reports are clogging it up and probably need a separate flow. Linus mentioned that they probably don’t need the same secrecy that the security mailinglist affords.
Ironically, it might not be a terrible idea to have another AI agent sort through all the generated reports, find the ones that are about the same thing, and condense them into a single report with the details of each one.
Ok, so the system need to be changed, it’s not “AI”

But yeah, double down.
