Lemme check today, if I could give some feedback and help out with
this.

BTW could you use plain text in your emails? I know kernel people who
drop automatically HTML on this address. It's cool, I'm tolerant but
it's the standard :-)

There's a page for this too:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/email-clients.html

Also, vger drops HTML mails, meaning that this response will arrive
there but your response that I'm responding most likely not (at least
vger used behave this way).

BR, Jarkko
