People can send email to me or lkp at intel.com for adding new git URLs
to 0day tests. Such requests are very welcome. Server load is not a
problem -- don't worry about your git pushes adding our test load.
By default all branches in a git tree will be tested, unless there are
explicit blacklist/whitelist.

We also have scripts to scan git.kernel.org/github/LKML looking for
possible new git URLs to add to 0day kbuild tests. However depending
on the team's maintenance pressure they may or may not run frequently.

Thanks,
Fengguang
