xfs_db sigsegv, xfs.org wiki and misc

Hello,

I haven't checked XFS project lately, and that's a decade or so, it
means that when I have met a bug I went out and tried to see where and
how to report. Just mentioning the following, since you may not be
aware from the inside:

The xfs.org seems to be the "main" xfs website, search gives it first,
and has a huge amount of informations. Problem is: most links point to
nonexistant pages (SGI links hijacked by HP main page), including those
mentioning documentation, development or suggest bug reporting. Only
two valid pointers are the #xfs on FreeNode and this mailing list. Some
mentioned https://xfs.wiki.kernel.org/ which is bacially impossible to 
find unless looking for it specifically, and it doesn't contain much
info anyway. So I can't see who to mention this to, maybe you know.

Anyway. xfs_db SIGSEGV, v5.0, pretty reliably, on
> inode <n>
> type inode
> print 
 [...lots of output of the extents...]
 crash

I am not sure how it's handled: whether it's a very low level utility
and sigsegv is a way to show "you're doing something wrong", or rather
it is a bug and shall be fixed. If you would kindly tell me whether
I shall report it anywhere, send metadump, or anything, I would be much
happier (to know at least).

(At least one external tool tries to use it and it's bitten by the
crash.)

Thanks,
g
