Add a section about Sashiko, the Linux Foundation's open-source AI review system for kernel patches. Contributors can check review feedback on the Sashiko website and address findings proactively, reducing the need for maintainers to relay the same questions.
Also point to the local review tooling at netdev-ai.bots.linux.dev for contributors who want to run AI reviews before submitting. Signed-off-by: Nicolai Buchwitz <[email protected]> --- Sashiko [1] reviews are already being used on the list (e.g. [2]) but there's no mention of them in the netdev docs. Add a section so contributors know they can check and respond to AI review feedback directly. Based on Jakub's reviewer guidance patch [3].
