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?
