(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.) -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-== =-== ----= http://arcgraph.de/sr/
