Making syzbot reports more developer-friendly
summary
syzbot runs continuous fuzzing across many trees and sends ~1–1.5k bug reports per year, now managing 53% reproducible cases (plus ~6% from msan-style reproducers) and serving about ~1,000 patch-test requests last year. Reproducers raise 100-day fix rates by roughly 1.5×; when reproducers plus automated bisection succeed fix rate rises toward ~65%. syzbot now shares bootable disk images and vmlinux+debug info, retests reproducers to auto-close obsolete bugs (60+ closed so far), and captures estrace call args to aid debugging.
