Lo! Since a few months mainline in
Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst contains a text written
to obsolete the good old reporting-bugs text. For now, the new document
still contains a warning at the top that basically says "this is WIP".
But I'd like to remove that warning and delete reporting-bugs.rst in the
next merge window to make reporting-issues.rst fully official. With this
mail I want to give everyone a chance to take a look at the text and
speak up if you don't want me to move ahead for now.

For easier review I'll post the text of reporting-issues.rst in reply to
this mail. I'll do that in a few chunks, as if this was a cover letter
for a patch-set. Note, the version I'll send in some areas looks a bit
different from the one currently in mainline. That's because the text
I'll send already incorporates a few patches from docs-next that are
waiting for the next merge window; I also removed the "WIP" box as well
as two remaining "FIXME" notes, as those point to aspects I mention
below already.

@Greg, @Sasha, I'd be especially glad if at least one of you two could
take a look and yell if there is something you really dislike from the
perspective of the stable maintainers.
I responded to the specific email, but will again here.  No objection
from me at all, 
Thx for taking a look!
this is a great resource, thanks for doing this.
Very glad to hear, thx.
 If,
over time, it needs any tweaks to explain things that people commonly
get wrong, that's easy to do,
Which likely will be the case, but that's life. :-D
so don't worry about trying to capture
"everything" right away.
Hah, I'm not worried about that (but yes, I have a tendency in that
direction...). I just feared something along the lines of "ohh, this is
all wrong, who sneaked this into the kernel behind our back". ;-)

Ciao, Thorsten
