Nor should they.

I screen all bugzilla reports. 100% of them.
- I'll try to establish whether it is a regression
- I'll solicit any extra information which I believe the reveloper will need
- I'll ensure that an appropriate developer has seen the report
And yes, the number of arm-specific reports in there is very small.

Is that linux-arm-kernel@lists.arm.linux.org.uk?
If so, MANITAINERS claims that it is subscribers-only. That would cause some bug reporters to give up and go away. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
