The Sashiko patch-review system

Description:
Roman Gushchin has announced the
existence of an LLM-driven patch-review system named Sashiko .  It 
automatically creates reviews
for all patches sent to the linux-kernel mailing list (and some others). In 
my measurement, Sashiko was able to find 53% of bugs based on a
	completely unfiltered set of 1,000 recent upstream issues using
	"Fixes:" tags (using Gemini 3.1 Pro). Some might say that 53% is
	not that impressive, but 100% of these issues were missed by human
	reviewers. Sashiko is built on Chris Mason's review prompts ( covered 
here in October 2025), but the
implementation has evolved considerably.
