where to report bugs while bugzilla.kernel.org is down?

[Lars Noodén]

bugzilla.kernel.org has been down for a while and it may be a while
before it is up again.  In the mean time how should bugs be reported?

Bugs should be reported on LKML and/or if applicable on a respective
subsystem mailinglist.  (See MAINTAINERS file of the kernel source.)

Even when bugzilla.kernel.org comes back, report bugs preferably to
mailinglists.  Bugzilla is a bug tracker, not so much a reporting tool.
Some maintainers and the good people who track kernel regressions make use
of bugzilla.kernel.org to keep record of bugs.  Furthermore, it can of
course be used by reporters too especially if they need to upload
screenshots of a kernel panic or large log files etc..

(That said, bug reports which are entered into bugzilla instead of posted
to a mailinglist are usually forwarded to people or mailinglists who might
be able to handle them.)

I don't see why that should be better: bugzilla forwards reports to mailing
lists anyway, doesn't it?

And certainly it is a big advantage to have bugs tracked in bugzilla, which to
me seems more accessible for occasional participation than a mainling list. I
hope the Kernel bugzilla is back soon!

Well, I've reported what I found here, but there's so much traffic, I don't
think anyone has even read my report (no one has replied to it).
