Every patch submission has a cost. A reviewer and/or maintainer has to process it. You're sending way more than average, hence depleting the time reviewer/maintainers can spend on other submissions.

Or please add this for me. That's not how it works. Anyone can subscribe to bpf@vger and start reviewing patches. After some time when developers and maintainers see that a person commenting on the patches actually adding value then they will get recognized with R: or M: in the MAINTAINERS file.
