I suppose the kernel is a single component only from a fairly narrow user centric view. Sure, it would be nice, from a user perspective, to have a single bug tracker for everything. But behind the scenes, the kernel development community is so broad and fragmented it's basically impossible to get people to agree on a tracker that would suit everyone and that everyone would use. Furthermore, there are users that insist on reporting bugs on their own terms anyway, refusing to sign up to any trackers. Arguably "the single bug tracker" most users should report their kernel problems for triage first is their distro bug tracker. > Can we shut down bugzilla.kernel.org completely?
