I've had what seems like a fairly serious kernel bug related to PCI scanning open for over a week, with no hint that anybody has read it, triaged it, etc.
chances are, that no-one has read it or triaged it. There are currently 696 FC5 kernel bugs open, and 208 FC6 kernel bugs open. The number of people actively working through those bugs you can count on one hand.
Some feedback would sure be nice.
I'll get to it (unless someone else beats me to it) eventually.

Dave - Thanks for the feedback.
1) I was kind of worried that I had messed up the bugzilla posting with the initially incorrect subsystem diagnosis (Xorg vs kernel).
2) Is this something that can just be kicked upstream? I would (naively) think a discrepancy between /proc/bus/pci/devices and /proc/bus/pci/xx/* would be a clear "OOPS" for whoever maintains the pci part of procfs, which I wouldn't think would be Fedora specific.
3) Am I correct in assuming that the referral to the upstream kernel folks must be done by a distro developer? That seems to be the gist of a message on their website.
