It is a good idea, but I'd say that, if there is "v4l-utils" anywhere at the patch series subject, media CI shall not change the patch status. Same applies to the other userspace tools we maintain. Please notice, however, that the title is not enough to classify it as userspace. See, for instance the contributions we receive for DTV tables like this one: - https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/846e7968-292d-5e96-b2a4-1e2e6b131fe3@tutr.cz/ This is not the first and probably won't be the last time we see things like that. So, in doubt, media-ci should not tag a patch if it can't verify that the patch is for the Kernel. > > > > I can add a comment in the media-ci email.

Maybe it is for v4l-utils, if so, > > please check http://XXXX/CONTRIBUTE.md Makes sense, but see: currently we maintain v4l-utils, dtv-scan-tables, tvtime, xawtv3 and xawtv4 userspace tools. The number of patches for the last three are really low, but when we have patches there they are important, as they're usually bug fixes made by distro maintainers. We should not miss those.
