Well, I doubt there is a completely non-frustrating path here and the
current way of doing things is clearly working in a sense that there are
over 1000 upstream fixes now mentioning Sashiko. Somebody needs to spend
time on these findings and nobody obviously has this time freely
available.

That said, as Chris said, we're working on a more systematic way to
handle these findings, I hope to roll it out relatively soon.

Thanks
