I am on deck to help with any question or issue (except for timer and
spinlock questions) e.g. related to license and copyright detection.

Kernel contributor and maintainer requests are treated as priority.
You can contact me directly off list or through the ScanCode tracker.

As a side note, I am toying with an addon [1] that can within reason
remove the detected license boilerplate and replace it with an SPDX
identifier in one pass to help cleanup more of these.

And Thomas: Thank you for the kind words!
