Aggregation of pull requests for a target/linux/econet ?

Hello,


I've noticed that there are four open PRs for the econet target that are 
"eligible" to be merged. Two are mine and two are Ahmed Naseef's.


We also have some patches going upstream which should be swapped out for 
backport patches, and moving to kernel 6.18 will eliminate quite a lot 
of backport patches - but I can't do any of that now because it's going 
to create merge conflicts.


Out of respect for the core dev's (mainly Hauke's) time, I can offer to 
act as a "maintainer" (time allowing) for /target/linux/econet, I'll 
aggregate the PRs into a branch, test it on my devices, and then make a 
single bundle PR. But for this to work, we'd have to believe that the 
bundled PR is not going to have any problems that block acceptance, 
since that would create a big mess.


I'm thinking a reasonable process would be:

1. Wait 3 business days for community feedback on the PR
2. Invoke Claude if not already done
3. Final review before accepting to the branch
4. Merge the PR and comment so the author knows


And if it's my own PRs, I'd do the same thing but with the addition of 
*trying* to get someone else to give me a review or test.


Does this seem like it would be useful?


Thanks,

Caleb
