Infact, the reason I forgot to mention it in my first E-Mail, is that it is the core around which the whole Kernel Bug Database operates. The user uploads their .config, and the database finds bugs that might be the one you're experiencing. If so, you add a separate bug report, an admin collects both bug reports in to one confirmed bug, and picks out which config options he wants to flag as causing the confirmed bug.
