Re: networking bugs and bugme.osdl.org

Ok, responding so that the response appears also
at the bug db is another story.

That is possible to do - there's patches to Bugzilla that implement an
email interface, but it has some problems like the one you pointed out
above. One possiblility is to make people manually do something to the
email for each reply, but that's rather ugly. 

Hopefully we can discuss this more at OLS this year, and get a plan 
going forward that people are happy with. I'm well aware that Bugzilla
is not the perefect tool, but I think it's better than what we had 
before (yeah, I know some of us disagree), and is easy to change.
I'd rather start with something simple, and evolve it to the needs of
the community than try dumping something complex onto people up front.

I did make the effort to make a dedicated bug database for kernel
development in December last year.  Do people actively hate it, or are
they just not aware of it?  :-).  I got some very favourable comments
early on, and a review in a Linux magazine, but haven't had much
feedback recently about it.  I was specifically trying to address the
kind of problems we're seeing with Bugzilla...
