list of outstanding issues somewhere?

list of outstanding issues somewhere?

[Robert P. J. Day]

   is there, somewhere, a list of known issues/bugs/upcoming fixes for
the PPC-oriented kernel source?  on a number of occasions, i've had
the bad timing to ask about something that was, in fact, in the
process of being patched or that someone was just about to start
working on, or that at least someone already knew about.

    it would be great if there was a list of outstanding issues one
could check to see that a problem they're having is already on
someone's radar screen -- not necessarily even being actively worked
on, just acknowledged that that issue exists.  a TO DO list?  just
curious.

Maybe we could even  have  a  (searchable)  patch  database  so  that
submissions, even if rejected, don't get lost completely.

BugZilla works great for this.

i'm not sure it needs to be that detailed or precise; i was just
thinking of a more general summary of "things we're working on or that
have to be dealt with at some point."  whatever works.

The cool thing about BugZilla is that it can do that, as well as keep
track of patches (pending, etc), a history of what's happened with the
problem and much more.  It's not hard to set up or administer and its
usefulness more than pays for the pain...
