A decade plus ago when I first got interested in using xfs for a production
system, the freeze feature would randomly fail for me.  I was able to update
the xfstest that exercised that code and get a reproducer.  I didn't do the
actual kernel fix, but I still think of that as my first significant
contribution to the kernel.

Never underestimate the value of that.  Clued users who submit good
bug reports and who can replicate/test patches or provide good test
cases are worth their weight in gold.

Good to known after testing file systems and what tools are the standard in the community.
