I think that "List" is not a good idea.
Intermixing mailing list email addresses and URLs seems
odd and inconsistent.
Maybe there could be something like the "T:" and "S:"
entries where some additional qualifier is used for the
specific type of bug reporting.

Yeah, if B: is present, use the given URL for bug reporting.
If not use the mailinglist... :-)

B: not being present, the status quo, could mean either the list or
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/, depending on the driver/subsystem.
I'd also like to encourage people to add URLs like
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=ACPI&component=BIOS
here to immediately lead the bug reporter to the correct product and
component in the bug tracker.
BR,
Jani.

I meant the word "List" verbatim as a keyword, indicating the bugs
should be reported to the list specified by "L:".

Maybe we can have a kernel summit session about this, and maybe have a
patch merged by mid-2017.

Make it a proper URI, allowing mailto:<listname@domain>
or http://bugzilla.org/i915/ or anything else that people
may come up with in future :)

get_maintainer could then parse mailto: and http: schemes and
