O.K. So there might be some low hanging fruit. netdev makes use of a
bot reading replies to patches looking for 'pw-bot: <status>' in the
message. If it sees status as 'changes-requested' or 'cr' it drops the
patchset from our CI, because we expect the submitter to make a
change.

So these would make good training for the negative side, don't do
this.
