We don't get many bugs through outreachy, but this isn't the first one.
For example, in March and April people complained about:

95745e9b1de2 ('staging: lustre: Use kasprintf.')
45de432775d6 ('Staging: rtl8712: Use memdup_user() instead of copy_from_user()')

There have been others but I have a short memory.  We have this
discussion every time.  How come no one caught this bug in review??  Oh,
it never went through the list.

I'm fine with 5 bugs per 900 patches or whatever.  I wish that the
patches came to the list, but I get that that would double your review
workload to review 900 patches on the outreachy list and again on the
normal dev list.
