Bugs should be reported on LKML and/or if applicable on a respective subsystem mailinglist. (See MAINTAINERS file of the kernel source.)
Even when bugzilla.kernel.org comes back, report bugs preferably to mailinglists. Bugzilla is a bug tracker, not so much a reporting tool. Some maintainers and the good people who track kernel regressions make use of bugzilla.kernel.org to keep record of bugs. Furthermore, it can of course be used by reporters too especially if they need to upload screenshots of a kernel panic or large log files etc..
(That said, bug reports which are entered into bugzilla instead of posted to a mailinglist are usually forwarded to people or mailinglists who might be able to handle them.) -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-== =-== ----= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- 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/
