To improve the quality of kernel releases, maybe we can create a special
kernel testing tool.
This tool should have :

- Can check known bugs, regressions, compile errors etc.

- The design should be modular (plug-in support). So, easily these
regressions, known bugs etc. should be implemented.

- It should have a git support. So,when hit a bug, this tool should have
ability to bisect the commits which automates to finding buggy commits.

- It should have console interface and X interface. So; not just
developers, also users, who wants to help to find out the issues, can
contribute easily.

Just a few things came to my mind when thought about it. Any more
ideas/suggestions welcomed :-) Also, we can create a web site for this
project and we can identify the known regressions, bugs etc. So, easily
who wants to contribute some code about this tool, easily find out these
issues. If anyone interests to create/lead such a tool like this, I can
host a website about this project on our system.

Cheers
