Bug#1032924: linux-image-amd64: new upstream stable kernel 6.2.6 fixes some rtl8192e, cfg80211 and tpm bugs



Previously I tried to be nice and gave you pointers which I hoped would give 
you insight as to why your behavior is unhelpful, which in turn would result 
in improved behavior. That did not have the intended effect.

So now I'm NOT going to be nice, so I added community@debian.org in the 
address list because:
1) I consider your behavior in violation of the CoC:
https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct
2) You and possibly others will complain about my style of communication, so 
it'll end up in the Debian Community Team's plate anyway.

Despite me asking you to NOT file bugs for packages/versions which do not exist 
in the Debian archive, you continue to do so:

For emphasis: *And it's not just one, but several.* (on 2023-01-30!)
This mail contains quotes from several different bug reports, but not 'even' 
all of them.

Before that I said in https://bugs.debian.org/1027921#25:

5.10 is Bullseye's kernel and it's also a Super Long Term Support release, 
meaning it will probably receive ~ 20 YEARS of support.

But that's not the point I want to make here, which is that you send an 
unsolicited email, aka spam, to a bug report with which you were not involved 
and your message was plain wrong and unhelpful.

Then in https://bugs.debian.org/1022126#112 this happened:

This is another bug you inserted yourself into with not only an unhelpful 
reply, but one which angered the OP of that bug. How is that helping?
Why are you surprised that this kind of behavior is considered spamming?

Contributing is about helping the maintainer(s) of a package by lessening 
their load or in case there is no maintainer, by f.e. adopting a package.
Or if there is a maintainer but for some reason has been unable to work on 
their package for a while, work on that *with their permission*.

The Debian kernel package does not fall in that category, quite the opposite.

On 2023-01-15 https://bugs.debian.org/1028965 happened:
RFS: linux/6.1.6-1~exp1 [ITP] -- Linux for multiprocessor

By pointing you to resources to learn how to contribute I had hoped that you 
would've learned that such an action is considered
an EXTREMELY hostile take-over attempt.

I've wasted more then enough time on this already, so I'll conclude with 2 bug 
reports which are essentially the same.

It's considered spamming because you keep abusing the BTS for bugs which 
aren't bugs, for kernel versions which aren't in Debian, repeated after having 
been asked multiple times to stop doing that and now you've also expanded the 
X-Debbugs-Cc field so that more people see it.

Let me REPEAT the quote of my reply on 2023-01-30 from above:

While I have REPEATEDLY and EXPLICITLY asked you to stop doing that!

I have wasted a considerable amount of time to collect all this 'evidence' 
after having wasted a lot of time previously trying to steer you in a 
direction which could be helpful instead of wasteful that you have been so 
far. I could've spend that time on *actual* contributions.

And you not only have wasted my time and annoyed me on multiple occasions, but 
also others.

If I see any more of these useless and annoying bug reports from you or you 
inserting yourself into other people's bug reports with useless and annoying 
replies, then I'm going to spend a considerable amount of time on you again, 
but this time to figure out how to get you banned from the BTS!

I will now close your useless bug reports and I will not respond again.
Any reaction will have to come from the Community Team who are likely not as 
fed up with this and surely are better at communicating.
