Not everyone will end up using it ... if people want to log bugs from lkml into bugzilla, I think that'd help gather a critical mass.
Are you getting a lot of bug-reports for serial code on lkml? I use it heavily, and it seems to work just fine to me .... so I pick (1). Yay! ;-)
Some of the bugs in there lie fallow, but I've seen quite a few get fixed. The fact that some people (Dave Jones springs to mind) trawl through there being extremely helpful fixing things is very useful ;-) Lots of things got fixed, though I can't *prove* it was solely due to it being in Bugzilla.
As the list of bugs increases, it'll become an increasingly powerful search engine for information as well .... I'll draw up a list of things that don't seem to being worked on, and mail it out to kernel-janitors and/or lkml and see if people are interested in fixing some of the fallow stuff.
