You're already using 'patchwork'. Why don't you instead go "Oh, *that*

Christ. Looking around, patchwork *ALREADY DOES THIS*.

Except it looks like it might be set up to just complain
("netdev/cc_maintainers"). Which seems to be why you're complaining.

IOW, you're complaining about *another* tool, because your own tool
use is set up to complain instead of being helpful.

I'm now even more convinced that that warning is completely bogus.

No way in hell am *I* going to bend over backwards and add some stupid
new rule to my workflow because *you* use a tool that is a whining
little complaint-machine instead of just *fixing* the problem.

Guys, tools are supposed to *help*, not just whine about
technicalities and make it harder for everybody else.

So just fix your tool. Don't complain about *my* use of another tool.
