The "AUTOSEL" review cycle is an additional hurdle automatically
selected patches need to clear before being queued up. There are 7 days
between the day I sent the review for these and the first day I might
queue them up.

This mail isn't an indication that the patch has been added to the
queue, it's just an extra step to give folks time to object.

If you add up all the days you'll get >14 :)
