Ah, cool. Will leave it to you, then.

You would definitely have to do local builds too, it's just about
raising awareness of remaining issues and lowering the barrier for
drive-by contributors to picking something to work on. I can only speak
for myself but I find it easier to go look at a list of known problems
than initiating a docs build and waiting for it to come back.

Syzbot has monthly per-subsystem reports now (since ~March, AFAICT):

https://lore.kernel.org/all/0000000000007fbf7a060cc67998@google.com/

A monthly email is maybe even better than what I suggested.

Anyway, I'll try something out, we can see how it works.
