Which trackers? Humans or software? I'm running a bot, but that is still in the
early stages -- and has no bugzilla integration as of now (but it's on the todo
list, but only in the middle), as the kernel's docs discourage from using it
most of the time. See
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/reporting-issues.html
(written by yours truly). See also the last section of that document.

Docs on that are in the work:

There are many things wrt kernel bug/regression reporting that IMHO need to be
fixed or improved. I'm working on this, but I'm mostly doing it in my spare
time (except for the regzbot, for which I found external funding).
