Can you guys get a human being to double-check and vet those reports?! Please!

Because we kinda trust them but

1. they're not really helpful and hard to understand what you're reporting

2. that summary thing is especially useless:

"Error/Warning ids grouped by kconfigs:

recent_errors
`-- loongarch-randconfig-001-20250328
    `-- arch-loongarch-kernel-traps.o:warning:objtool:show_stack:skipping-duplicate-warning(s)"

When I see this, I need to go look for the original reports and somehow
scratch them together. And you have all that info, why don't you simply dump
a URL with the bug materials so that one can inspect them?

3. Last but not least, if this doesn't change I will start ignoring them.
   Because they're not really helping - on the contrary - they're actively
   interfering.

Thx.
