Some subsystem maintainers use the kernel bugzilla. Others do not.
How they use it is also highly variable. For example, bugs that are
filed with the ext4 component cause mail to be sent to the linux-ext4
mailing list, and replies automatically end up in the bugzilla log.
We use the ext4 bugzilla as a record of the bug, and we'll have a
pointer to the kernel bugzilla URL with the fix. But we don't always
close out the bug. Sometimes a few kernel developers will do some
cleanup, but it's not something that done regularly.
Also note that many bugs are never filed via the bugzilla, and are
reported via the mailing list. So if you want a full and complete
list of open bugs --- sorry, there is no such thing.
