IIRC there was this [1] issue that some people pushed for a couple of years. Then at some point, this other one [2] became the new one for it (which has Kate Hockman as the issue creator). It's been a multi-year effort, so congrats to those who've made it happen.

There is a good LWN article that gives a useful overview of the current proposal as well as briefly hits on some of the history: https://lwn.net/Articles/829242/ https://lwn.net/Articles/829242/

  That is a good description. Rather than building a corpus genetically (mutating a random input and adding it to the corpus of it gives new coverage), I wonder if we could use static analysis to generate a corpus in a single shot? I.e., statically identify the branches and pick inputs that cover each branch?
