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. > It would be far more productive if the ARM category was deleted from > bugzilla and the few people who use bugzilla reported their bugs on the > mailing list.
