Yeah, I'm going to ask the original reporter, but this is still not
perfect at all; namely, you'll be missed in the loop. e.g. who can
answer to the questions from Chrome team about the breakage commit?
That's why I asked you posting it previously. If it has to be done by
the original reporter, at least, may your name / mail be put as the
contact for the kernel stuff in the report?

thanks,
