Hi,

I've been reading Sashiko's (AI bot) reviews wrt Landlock patches, and
most of them were valuable.  It found issues (security or not), but it
requires to go to https://sashiko.dev to find them, which is too easy to
forget, and requires additional work from maintainers to copy or point
to these reviews.  I sent a PR (currently in draft) to enable email
replies from Sashiko to the Linux Security Module mailing list (most
patches are already reviewed anyway):
https://github.com/sashiko-dev/sashiko/pull/278

Making such reviews broadly available can improve the quality of patches
we receive without much noise, helping for all LSM-related code.  We can
fine tune some email-related settings if needed.

If there are any concern or question, this is the right time to start a
discussion.
I recently enabled Sashiko for the SELinux list to trial it there
first, with the goal of eventually bringing this topic up for the rest
of the LSM folks on the LSM list.

While I think Sashiko's review comments are generally okay, you should
have contacted the LSM mailing list folks *before* submitting a PR
that would cause an automated bot to send email to the LSM list (this
applies to all automated emails, not just LLM reviews).  Please hold
the PR until you have given people a chance to comment on the issue.
As I explained just above, the PR is a draft (GitHub specific state for
WIP), so it cannot be merged as-is, but it is useful for reviews and for
LSM folks to get a look if they are interested.
Personally, I'm okay with it.
Looks good.  What about waiting a week to get some feedback here and
then ask for a merge of the PR?  Anyway, it would not be written in
stone, we can update Sashiko config with new PRs.
