Also in: linux-doc, workflows
Subsystem: documentation, documentation process, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

"LLM-driven-developers" are not including the info about discovery
method we want to see in commit messages. Try to add more forceful
language to make agents ask for it. claude and codex seem to load
maintainer-netdev.rst already.
