BTW, can you please permanently exclude all commits authored by me from AUTOSEL
so that I don't have to repeatedly complain about every commit individually?
Especially when these mails often come on weekends and holidays.

I know how to use Cc stable, and how to ask explicitly for a stable backport if
I find out after the fact that one is needed.  (And other real people can always
ask too... not counting AUTOSEL, even though you are sending the AUTOSEL emails,
since clearly they go through no or very little human review.)

Of course, it's not just me that AUTOSEL isn't working for.  So, you'll still
continue backporting random commits that I have to spend hours bisecting, e.g.
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20220921155332.234913-7-sashal@kernel.org.

But at least I won't have to deal with this garbage for my own commits.

Now, I'm not sure I'll get a response to this --- I received no response to my
last AUTOSEL question at
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/Y1DTFiP12ws04eOM@sol.localdomain.  So to
hopefully entice you to actually do something, I'm also letting you know that I
won't be reviewing any AUTOSEL mails for my commits anymore.
