Hello, all: I would like to propose a tech topic for the upcoming kernel summit. B4 is already a well-known tool for retrieving and applying series from lore.kernel.org. Recently, it gained several new features that can make the life of a maintainer a bit easier: - b4 review - helps with code review and full series lifecycle management - b4 bugs - integrates distributed bug tracking into your workflow This session will go over the new features and how they can assist overloaded maintainers in keeping a handle on the stream of incoming changes and bug reports while retaining decentralized nature of Linux kernel development. Best regards, -- KR
