Quotes of the week

Pro tip, when sending a bug to the kernel security team, and it's reviewed and shown to not actually be a bug at all due to the report being "written" by a llm which can't actually parse C very well, don't proceed to "curse" the reviewer for pointing this out.

Add a new 'b4 dig' subcommand that uses AI agents to discover related emails for a given message ID. This helps developers find all relevant context around patches including previous versions, bug reports, reviews, and related discussions.

The command:

• Takes a message ID and constructs a detailed prompt about email relationships
• Calls a configured AI agent script to analyze and find related messages
• Downloads all related threads from lore.kernel.org
• Combines them into a single mbox file for easy review

Key features:

• Outputs a simplified summary showing only relationships and reasons
• Creates a combined mbox with all related threads (deduped)
• Provides detailed guidance to AI agents about kernel workflow patterns
