If XFS (or *any* other subsystem) doesn't have enough manpower of upstream
maintainers to deal with stable, we just have to accept that and find an
answer to that.

If XFS folks claim that they don't have enough mental capacity to
create/verify XFS backports, I totally don't see how any kind of AI would
have.

If your business relies on XFS (and so does ours, BTW) or any other
subsystem that doesn't have enough manpower to care for stable, the proper
solution (and contribution) would be just bringing more people into the
XFS community.

To put it simply -- I don't think the simple lack of actual human
brainpower can be reasonably resolved in other way than bringing more of
it in.
