The kernel’s Bugzilla
instance is largely unloved and ignored, at least as a bug-reporting
tool for the bulk of the upstream kernel. At the recent Maintainers Summit,
Bugzilla was discussed during the regression-handling session led by Thorsten
Leemhuis. In a followup to that discussion, Leemhuis posted
some ideas for improving the state of bugzilla.kernel.org to the
ksummit-discuss mailing list recently; the resulting discussion helped
clarify a number of problem areas for it—and for the Bugzilla tool itself.
