Could Mellanox/nVidia figure out a why to get folks trained on posting
patches correctly? IDK how to do that exactly but you have a rather
large employee base, it may be most efficient if you handle that
internally than the community teaching people one by one.

Or perhaps there's something we can do to improve community docs?
