Stephan,

FYI, if you incude in your e-mail "#syz test <GIT URL> <BRANCH>" as
the first line of your patch and the syzbot e-mail is cc'ed, the
syzbot will automatically apply the patch in the e-mail against the
git tree/branch specified in the "#syz test" line, and then try to see
if the problem it discovered still reproduces --- and then send you
e-mail one way or another.

So the syzbot will run while the patch goes through the normal e-mail
review process, which is kind of neat.  :-)

Cheers,
