It would be nice if you could try to parse the git logs for the driver
and extrapolate its age, and if it is still being actively Maintained
by somebody.

We see lots of LLM generated patches for theoretical bugs, mostly in
error paths, for drivers which are EOL, and it is unlikely anybody is
still using the hardware. Such patches waste Reviewer/Maintainer time.

Maybe even make this part of your triage process. Prioritise issues
found on newer, used drivers, over old likely unused drives.
