Re: [PATCH] docs: add advanced search for kernel documentation

That was my oversight. I failed to include the appropriate
coding-assistant attribution/disclosure, and I will reroll my patches
accordingly.

I am not contributing as a kernel developer. My background is in
front-end engineering, product/UX, and developer-facing documentation
and platform surfaces, and that is where I believe I can add value here.

Linux is important infrastructure, and I have already been making
related contributions in its ecosystem. In trying to improve
lore.kernel.org, I contributed patches merged upstream to Public Inbox
for small-screen layout behavior and for enabling admin-injected meta
tags in the document head.

After my Git patches for gitweb mobile responsiveness were merged,
I prepared a kernel.org mobile-responsiveness patch series
(current theme is only built for desktop and breaks on small screens).
Since there was not an established mailing-list path for merging that
work, Johannes Schindelin introduced me to Konstantin in an archived
thread, which opened a concrete path for contributing to kernel.org.

More broadly, I have worked on improving developer-facing surfaces,
including documentation and related tooling, in other OSS projects.
That is the kind of value I am aiming to add here: not direct kernel
development, but improving usability, discoverability, and developer
experience around important technical infrastructure.
