The problem is that LKML is too high traffic for a lot of people to
want to follow.

There are some people who have used the kernel summit discuss list
(previously ksummit-discuss@lists.linux-foundation.org, now
ksummit@lists.linux.dev) as a place where most maintainers tend to be
subscribed, although that's not really a guarantee, either.  (Speaking
of which, how to handle groups who submit patches in bad faith a good
Maintainer Summit topic for someone to propose...)

To give the devil his due, Prof. Kangjie Lu has reported legitimate
security issues in the past (CVE-2016-4482, an information leak from
the kernel stack in the core USB layer, and CVE-2016-4485, an
information leak in the 802.2 networking code), and if one looks at
his CV, he has a quite a few papers in the security area to his name.

The problem is that Prof. Lu and his team seem to be unrepentant, and
has some very... skewed... ideas over what is considered ethical, and
acceptable behavior vis-a-vis the Kernel development community.  The
fact that the UMN IRB team believes that what Prof. Lu is doing isn't
considered in scope for human experimentation means that there isn't
any kind of institutional controls at UMN for this sort of behavior
--- which is why a University-wide Ban may be the only right answer,
unfortunately.
