Re: net: dcb: Communication challenges for patch reviews?

Simon reviewed the patch already.
It seems that some reviewers do not care so much about the recommended application of imperative mood for improved change descriptions.
Don't listen to Markus.
I hope that further suggestions (including remaining patches) will get more development attention so that the change acceptance will evolve accordingly.
He's banned from vger.
Is this historic action a questionable side effect of known recurring communication difficulties? How many contributors are blocked so far? There are also participants who are still more open to some change ideas.

I imagine that the “intelligence” can be improved also for “the semi-friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman”. How “nonsensical or otherwise pointless” do you find review comments which remind requirements from the Linux development documentation for a discussed patch? https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?h=v6.5-rc4#n3 Regards, Markus
