Hi greg,

thanks for your feedback.

This robot is only used for our internal patch review. It should not 
send any email out to Linux kernel mailing list.

Why does this situation (this testing robot mistakenly sent emails to 
the kernel mailing list) occur?

Because Zhong Yong who is responsible for this testing robot does not 
classify patches which are sent to kernel mailing list and which are 
still in the internal review.

Sorry about this false alarm.

Because we have many newbie students, from first grade to forth grade in 
our university. They sometimes make mistakes in the patch generation, 
crafting patches that cannot be applied in the kernel tree.

This robot will check all the patches sent to this internal mailing list 
and report this issue. **But our design is only to use it for internal 
review. It should not send any emails to kernel mailing list.**

This bot is only used for our internal review mailing list, and 
**again** it will not send any emails to kernel maintainers.

It is because the student missed an important logic: filter out the 
patches that are already sent for external review.

Really sorry about this situation.
