Hey, I see the patch hit linux-next and regzbot noticed and
now lists the patch as an incoming fix. Great job with regzbot!

By the way, I think regzbot is a great idea, and I think any resources
devoted to develop it more would pay handsome returns for the
quality of Linux. If no one but you is working on it, I actually might
be willing to volunteer some time to help you develop it.

Best regards,
