" summary

Netdev maintainers report concrete infrastructure changes: the project forms the NetDev Foundation, buys five servers (HAProxy-hosted) and migrates CI off a single-company cloud; Intel is reporting results as the first vendor to meet the new requirement that upstream drivers publish public hardware CI; patchwork remains in use after decades but replacement is being considered; Kselftest flakiness is tracked with a heatmap and reruns, linters (shellcheck, codespell, Python) plus a local wrapper make CI reproducible, and an AI review bot runs on AWS for mailing-list patches.
