If maintainers were to use b4 at some point in the future, they could use
b4 ty
I believe (I'm not a maintainer and not using b4 for maintaining stuff, 
so just reading the b4 usage from b4 --help :) ).

I agree, this is something I really appreciate from kernel development 
and miss with Yocto/OE development. I don't contribute to libcamera, 
rather monitor what's happening to interesting patches but I would 
probably miss it the same way.

Cheers,
