Sashiko to track linux-mtd

Hello MTD folks,

I mentioned it rapidly on IRC but I believe a formal e-mail is more
appropriate. I consider asking the Sashiko team to track linux-mtd to
help us with reviews:

* sashiko at lists.linux.dev
* Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin at linux.dev>

I believe Sashiko will be a useful tool given that our time is
limited. We were already monitoring the output of Sashiko when other
(Sashiko enabled) mailing lists were copied, so I propose to officially
add linux-mtd to the list.

Richard said he was fine with the idea as long as it remained a tool. I
agree with this approach, Sashiko is not the Alpha & Omega, but I
believe it proved itself useful just by the amount of corner cases it
managed to catch already. Not all recommendations should be followed and
we are not looking for an empty Sashiko response for merging.

There is apparently the possibility to tune the prompt per subsystem. At
this stage I haven't thought very deeply about it and considered not
adding any subsystem specific rules. Maybe the SPI NOR team wants to
come up with some guidelines, such as the need for a record (using the
script in the documentation) for new chips additions. I would propose to
not delay the addition of our mailing list for that. This does not need
to be done from day 1, as we can make PRs to their GH repository with
these extra requirements whenever we are ready, see below.

Thanks a lot,
Miquèl
