- Collapse the whole thing down to a patch adding reporting-bugs-v2.rst

process manual as part of this; not only admins will report bugs.
After a night's sleep and Randy's comment I for now settled on
Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
- Add a comment at the top saying it's a proposed replacement and
soliciting comments. [...]
Struggled a bit to find the right words, but I think this should work:
```
.. important::
This document is being prepared to replace
Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-bugs.rst. The main work is done and
you are already free to follow its instructions when reporting issues to
the Linux kernel developers. But keep in mind, below text still needs a
few finishing touches and review. It was merged to the Linux kernel
sources at this stage to make this process easier and increase the
text's visibility.
Any improvements for the text or other feedback is thus very much
welcome. Please send it to 'Thorsten Leemhuis <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>' and
'Jonathan Corbet <corbet@xxxxxxx>', ideally with 'Linux kernel mailing
list (LKML) <linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>' and the 'Linux Kernel
Documentation List <linux-doc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>' in CC.
Areas in the text that still need work or discussion contain a hint
like this which point out the remaining issues; all of them start with
the word "FIXME" to make them easy to find.
```
Randy let me know if you want to be mentioned there, too.
- In a separate patch you could add a comment to the existing document
pointing to the new one as the true source of wisdom.
This is what I plan to add:
```
.. note::
Instead of reading below text consider reading this document
instead: Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst. It's intended
to replace below text in the near future, as it's easier to grasp and
more straight forward; it also provides way more details and more
accurately describes the steps currently needed when reporting bugs to
the Linux developers.
```
Ciao, Thorsten
