I released the reviews for you, the first one looks legit, I haven't

The patchwork checks are for maintainers. If someone wants to build
a public CI for contributors that'd be great. We can even provide
funds from the netdev foundation. But let us be clear that the current
setup is until now maintained primarily by me for me on the weekends.
Unless you make an effort to actually help I don't think it is in good
taste to complain.
