Given the > huge volume of them, one bug out of 900 isn't that bad of a percentage. We don't get many bugs through outreachy, but this isn't the first one. For example, in March and April people complained about: 95745e9b1de2 ('staging: lustre: Use kasprintf.') 45de432775d6 ('Staging: rtl8712: Use memdup_user() instead of copy_from_user()') There have been others but I have a short memory. We have this discussion every time. How come no one caught this bug in review?? Oh, it never went through the list. I'm fine with 5 bugs per 900 patches or whatever. I wish that the patches came to the list, but I get that that would double your review workload to review 900 patches on the outreachy list and again on the normal dev list. regards, dan carpenter
