Sashiko change proposal

Sashiko change proposal

[David Hildenbrand (Arm)]

(CCing all people attending the mm-next call)

Hi,

After talking to Roman at MS, he just informed me that sashiko now has a new
feature combination:
- "embargo_hours": hours before review is public + emails sent
- Mechanism for signed-in maintainers to lift embargo immediately

That solves the key issue I had with sashiko: people/agents re-spinning stuff
too fast before a human at least had the chance to jump in first.

I suggest the following sashiko change for linux-mm:

diff --git a/projects/linux/mailing_lists.toml b/projects/linux/mailing_lists.toml
index a9198de..ba123da 100644
--- a/projects/linux/mailing_lists.toml
+++ b/projects/linux/mailing_lists.toml

 reply_to = ["author", "list", "recipients"]

+embargo_hours = 24


Which means:
- Embargo 24h
- Mails sent to everybody (author, list, CC list)
- No positive-review ("looks great") mails (default)
- No other static email addresses that receive a copy (default)
- No additional ignored author email addresses (default)

I'd say we start with 24h and see how it goes.

Thoughts?

If a sender re-spins stuff too fast after a Sashiko review, that's a
pretty clear signal that it is an agent. For me, that makes it an easy
decision to ignore the sender. I'm curious, why would you want to lose
that signal? Is the goal to preserve Sashiko bandwidth and reduce
mailing list spam?

Quick question: when are maintainers supposed to lift embargo?

They don’t have to: it will be lifted automatically after 24h (or whatever is configured).
But if you as a maintainer has an immediate comment to Sashiko’s review or you’re ready to pick the change, you can lift it immediately.
And of course maintainers can see review results immediately.


Thanks

The maintainer feature sounds cool.  I was wondering how I could do this in
detail.  This "What's New in Sashiko" [1] is kindly explaining it.

: Maintainer embargo access & early embargo release
: Signed-in maintainers can view embargoed reviews immediately without waiting
: for the timer, and use the new "Release Embargo" button on a patchset page to
: publish results early.

By the way the "What's New in Sashiko" is very helpful new feature.  I will
visit Sashiko web ui more frequently.  Thank you Roman and Sashiko team for the
great works!

Kudos to Roman and Sashiko team for developing the features.

there was an mm-next call?

fyi, there's a sashiko@lists.linux.dev list for stuff like this.

Nope, the next one is next week. I merely CCed all people that usually attend
this call (where this topic was previously discussed).

Thanks, but this is really a MM discussion on what we want, not any request
towards the sashiko team for something new.

Thanks for doing this, it's much more convenient to notice and respond
to the review when Sashiko replies to the patches.

FWIW, I prefer no 24hr embargo, seems to work well on the KVM side --
but I will take what I can get :P

Is it time for me to pick up the change? David, I'll let you decide when
the discussion is done or just send me a PR, up to you.

Btw I hope to deploy the new Gemini 4 Argon model really soon and I
expect better review quality. Also a big prompts rework is in the
process with a simpler way to put in subjective things. It will be
called maintainers notes. For stuff like "don't send me typo fixes
patches" or "don't use struct page outside of X".

Thanks

I was under the assumption that I would have to open a PR on github, but if you
could just perform the change yourself, that would be great.

I don't think there is any pushback right now, and we can always adjust if we
realize this doesn't work the way we wanted to.

I'll roll it out later today.
