I read everything that's sent to drivers/staging.  I've read it in the
order that it arrives and I've done that since 2010...  But these days
people are treating the list like a pre-submit AI checker which sucks.
I feel like people are saying we should just accept that mailing lists
are just AI checker interfaces instead of being intended for humans...

I think adding a 24 hour delay to the AI review solves this.  It seems
to be working for networking.  It will likely push people to use AI
locally which is even better.

That has never been a problem on drivers/staging.  Greg responds
to every email and when he was on vacation then I responded to
every email.
