How many filesystems have you touched in the recent changes? I've
counted about 7 subsystems in commit 704528d895dd ("fs: Remove
->readpages address space operation"), the rest are VFS/MM changes or
individual filesystems in separate patches.

Examples of btrfs-only changes, there are more like that in the pull as
you probably know:

8e1dec8eb8b0 ("btrfs: Use folio_invalidate()").
895586eb6898 ("btrfs: Convert from invalidatepage to invalidate_folio")
...

You know you can slap a CC: linux-btrfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to the patch
tag and forget about it, is that unreasonable? No. If you're updating
the same filesystems repeatedly you can copy the CC list for all of
them.
