Seems we have confirmation this 'Josh Law' guy is an openclaw bot - https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/ae7dc[email protected]/
As I said in https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1e982055-[email protected]/ :
"I feel that LLMs are not like any other tools but in fact represent
something entirely new in that you can end-to-end send patches using this
tooling with little to no knowledge and the asymmetry between maintainer
resource and the possible slurry of submissions that might arise makes this
very significantly different.
I know Linus had the cute interpretation of it 'just being another tool'
but never before have people been able to do this."
Of course Linus slapped me down with his 'just more tooling' take which was gleefully reported on by the press (e.g. https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/08/linus_versus_llms_ai_slop_docs/ )
I'll let you decide whether these are 'just like any other tool' or not.
BTW 'Josh Law' more than doubled his sent emails in a week or 2 to 370+.
Of course I'm sure coccinelle has that feature and I just wasn't aware 👀
