There's another issue I want to raise concerning bugzilla.  We have the
classic case of "not enough people reading bugzilla bugs" - which is one
of the biggest problems with bugzilla.  Virtually no one in the ARM
community looks for ARM bugs in bugzilla.

Let's not forget that it would be a waste of time for people to manually
check bugzilla for ARM bugs.  There's soo few people reporting ARM bugs
into bugzilla that a weekly manual check by every maintainer would just
return the same old boring results for months and months at a time.
...

What about having all ARM bugs in Bugzilla by default assigned to 
linux-arm-kernel@lists.arm.linux.org.uk? [1]

That would also work, probably much better than setting up yet another
list.

cpufreq (at least) does it this way.  I don't know how well it is turning
out in practice.

It's useful if the initial report makes it clear (ie; to me) that the report
has already gone to a mailing list so I don't go and forward a duplicate.

But there are so few arm reports in bugzilla that this is all rather moot.

My experience of trying to get mbligh to do this when I stopped looking
after PCMCIA stuff was *extremely* painful.  Wonder if it's become any
easier of late?

He's a bad, bad man ;)

But he's been turning these things around pretty rapidly lately.
