Whatever works best for you. In case you decide for the PR, I'm sending
one right now for you both. It is on a stable signed tag:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-docs.git/tag/?h=docs/v6.17-1

So, if both of you pick from it, we should be able to avoid conflicts on
the next merge window, as I don't have any patches changing the Sphinx
yaml parser plugin nor netlink tools.

It should be noticed that I have a patch series that does a major
cleanup at Documentation/Makefile. It is based after this series.

So, better to have the series merged at linux-docs to avoid merge
conflicts at linux-next and during the next merge window.

Thanks,
Mauro
