I think that any robot sending such checkpatch-only
emails should be disabled.

I know of 2 email robots.

Fengguang Wu's very useful build robot
sends out emails on build failures.
I think that's great.

Wang Shilong <wangshilong1991@gmail.com>
sent me an automated checkpatch email I
thought was not useful.

Does anyone know of other checkpatch robots?
