I just discovered that commit 7042c2b9a19e74972f5783ab3b7ef98ebdee293f
in 4.14.4 completely breaks the external displays attached to my Dell
TB16 dock.
How/where should I report this? (Does the stable tree use the regular
kernel Bugzilla?)
Thanks!

The kernel.org Bugzilla is only used for a few areas of mainline
development, and I would expect stable regressions in those areas to be
accepted there too.
For i915, I think you should either:
- open a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org (under DRI, DRM/Intel)
- mail intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org and cc stable
Ben.

What Ben said was good, also you can just cc: the people on the patch
itself, and the mailing list for the subsystem, and that usually will
work (along with the stable mailing list).
thanks,
