Troubles with triaging syzbot reports

Though the level of invective in the thread isn’t appropriate, I was working with someone who felt it was helpful to respond to a justifiably-frustrated maintainer with “Calm downnnnnn Sir” and multiple messages full of grating pseudo-puns like “beatles” for “bugs,” I too would have trouble keeping a lid on my temper. Even accounting for possible cultural differences and ESL factors, it’s childish at best and outright disrespectful at worst.

Automated bug reports are only as good as the routing-to-humans procedure they undergo. Maintainers live and die by the signal/noise ratio in various project fora, and reducing that ratio irritates people, justifiably. While it’s not always great praxis to say “why don’t you just fix $BEHAVIOR with $STRATEGY,” it’s perfectly valid for maintainers to outline what kind of strategy would be useful for their purposes without being expected to fix the fuzzers themselves.
