(And even there, iwlwifi folks haven't been doing it that promptly, because one of the bugs that spurred me here was in iwlwifi -- it was reported several times there, including with a bisection and patch, but that went nowhere, until Intel popped out an identical bugfix a month later.) Anyway I'm not really asking you to, but I would like to avoid it being a /dev/null bucket somehow. > I think there should be a big fat > warning that it's not the recommended way to report bugs, just so that > people don't have false expectations. Yeah, that would be nice, and I'm pretty sure other subsystems have similar (non)expectation. In fact, there _are_ notes about this already, but they're not big and fat, and they're not included directly in the bugzilla "report a bug" interface: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/reporting-bugs.html#identify-who-to-notify Anyway, in absence of that, I do plan to at least keep some ear open, in case it ends up catching obvious issues. > > It's ostensibly managed by networking_wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, > > but I get the impression that list (and really, the entire domain...) > > has been dead for a long time.
