Merge branch 'docs-netdev-a-couple-of-updates'

Paolo Abeni says:

====================
docs: netdev: a couple of updates

Explicitly covers a couple of relevant spots currently left out in the
dark. Likely the first one was too obvious to ever spell out loud and
the latter too new.

Both cases are increasingly relevant, at least to me.

Keep the update in the netdev subsystem, as others may have slightly
different preferences.

There are 2 services actively providing LLM-generated review on posted patches:

AI-generated reviews and handle such feedback as any other kind of review:
either debate it or address it. In both cases a reply on the mailing list is
expected.
Authors are strongly encouraged to run LLM reviews on the posted patches in
advance of the actual post. Large series triggering a significant amount of
AI-generated feedback will likely get little attention from maintainers and
reviewers.
Emails saying just "ping" or "bump" are considered rude. If you can't figure

Don't reach out to maintainers or reviewers via private email and/or other
communications channels: all the discussion must remain public, and
requesting special attention is unfair towards the community, at best.
