Subject: [PATCH net] docs: netdev: try to force agents to disclose info for fixes
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 08:34:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029153459.2257998-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)

"LLM-driven-developers" are not including the info about discovery
method we want to see in commit messages. Try to add more forceful
language to make agents ask for it. claude and codex seem to load
maintainer-netdev.rst already.
