Dear Thorsten, dear Jonathan, During some other unrelated clean-up work, I stumbled upon the section 'If something goes wrong' in Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/README.html). README.rst is---as it seems---the intended first summary page of the documentation for any user of the kernel (the kernel's release notes document). The section 'If something goes wrong' describes what to do when encountering a bug and how to report it. The second sentence in that section is especially historic and probably just discouraging for most bug reporters ( ..."the second best thing is to mail them to me (torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)"...). Some random user (potentially even unknown to the community) sending an email to Linus is most probably the last best thing to do and is most likely just ignored, right? Probably this section in README.rst needs a rewrite (summarizing Thorsten's reporting-issues.rst, or just copying the summary from there) and should then refer to reporting-issues.rst for more details. Thorsten, do you have time to prepare a change to that document that gives a short summary on how to report potential issues and regressions? Otherwise, I will happily put that on my todo list and probably can suggest some RFC patch in a week or two. Best regards, Lukas
