Those @kernel-bugs email addresses should not be a problem: https://korg.docs.kernel.org/bugzilla.html#real-assignees-vs-virtual-assignees AFAIK, USB bugs go to linux-usb@vger.kernel.org, SCSI bugs go to linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org. netdev didn't want bugs sent there automatically IIRC, so a human takes care of doing that if warranted. Andrew Morton takes MM bugs and Cc:s them to linux-mm mailing list and then asks for discussion to continue on the mailing list. We could/should probably see if we can add more project-specific mailing lists to the automatic reporting -- but probably not LKML. Otherwise some bug reports might never be heard about. -- ~Randy
