Hi Pavel, bobwxc,

Yes, I was wondering if syzbot in From/To/CC can be used for
filtering? I assume email clients that can filter based on subject can
also filter based on From/To/CC.
Does anybody filter syzbot emails? Maybe you can share what works best?

I am not sure a common prefix for all bots is useful because it
supports only all or nothing. There are also some bots that
maintainers use now that seem to be fundamental to the process, if one
is ignoring them, then they are effectively ignoring what the
maintainer is saying.
