That's what we do usually, but I'm a strong believer in (LWN) statistics to help people justify the work they do upstream. Feels even more important for testing than feature development in a way. So a tag would be ideal. But it's a hard nut to crack. Best I can come up with would be: Reproducer: test.case.path # 001122aabb (optimal) commit of the test case ? Could potentially be useful for backporters? > Reported-by: Some CI Bot I guess we'd need something like: Reported-by: subsystem CI # Person Who ?
