I happen to like Max's MFC emails. To visit some website on occasion to che= ck is a PITA. I've been through this many times at $JOB. Rather than receiv= e notifications in one place, my inbox, having to visit multiple websites t= o check work queues is pointless. I prefer receiving an interrupt rather th= an having to poll. Polling is inefficient use of my time. --- Sent using a tiny phone keyboard. Apologies for any typos and autocorrect. Also, this old phone only supports top post. Apologies.

If you're talking about the MFC after: field in commits, I don't use it. I have about zero tolerance for being nagged by anybody about anything, and that goes double for robots nagging me with spam mail. The MFC tool that works well for me is gonzo's MFCTracker site [*] that doesn't require extra markup in the commit messages. [*]=A0https://mfc.kernelnomicon.org/6/ -- Ian
