I've switched emails to links instead of attachments, here are few
recent examples:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/25/31
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/25/256
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/25/257

Filed https://github.com/google/syzkaller/issues/550 for periodic
pings and noted your requirements. In particular, we will need
something for "I'm not the right person for this report", and some
plan for gradual rollout. It will take some time to implement.
Meanwhile developers are welcome to look at the dashboard

Thanks again
