Let's not rely on large language models.  If we are going to automate
this, it ought to be through interpretable, "rule-based" systems. 
Like, imagine that on top of telling debbugs to close a bug etc., you
could tell debbugs (or some other tool) that some patch or a series
looks good to you.  We could then add an interface to allow filtering
for "looks good" series for quick patch application, the rationale
being that committers have to do less or no review of their own as they
commit to a patch or series.*

Cheers

* They should still check that the series actually looks good to enough
folks.
