OpenZFS imports, status update

Hey Martin,

I just wanted to let you know we've been working towards enabling pushing
vendor/openzfs/* branches. There's one big issue that needs to be
corrected. Currently, we'll do one email per revision hash on such imports,
so openzfs would generate ~10k emails, which would be undesirable. Li Wen
is working on enabling one email per push for vendor/* which would
eliminate this problem. We hope to be doing test pushes to the testing repo
early next week, and if all goes well enabling this in production shortly
after.

IMHO, you've made a compelling case: the size is small, the coupling
between the projects is tight and we get some extra benefit from having a
finer-grained vendor branch that we import from. The plan to import
directly from vendor/openzfs/zfs-2.1 would normally be concerning because
it's not following the usual main -> stable/X workflow. In this case,
though, since upstream follows that workflow we won't lose things that get
pushed to stable/13 that aren't also relevant to main. There's at least
some configuration needed to allow the merge commits to stable/13, but
we're still working out the last details.

So we'll be good to go soon (1-2 weeks until you can land commits, I
think). Does that work for you?

Warner
