Team of bugzappers sounds ok, but I'd rather leverage the

at the lowest/earliest level, by giving the report at least the
opportunity to say, for example, "this looks like a
filesystem/ext4/xfs/network/scsi/whatever bug"
And then I'd see it, for the relevant buckets.
Today I don't even look, because it's just a giant stew.
So if we can't do better on the filing end, then maybe a team of
bugzappers is warranted ... but can't we do better on the filing end?
Well, I asked around about that, but not sure how easy/possible it is
to do with our current setup. Basically bugzilla gets populated from
pkgdb, which has a list of packages, owners, cc people, etc.
It doesn't have a way to say: kernel is this, and has subsystem X, Y, Z
Of course we might be able to change the setup, but thats not going to
be easy/short term. :( I also wish there was a way to setup a template
per component, so we could ask the reporters for all the standard
things we want and point them at the kernelcommon issues page, etc.
If I had a filesystem-related bucket or buckets to look at for
fedora
kernel bugs, I'd do it. Esp. if it sent me email.
How about if a group of bugzappers added you to CC and add a
'filesystem' keyword on the bug so you could search for all those?
We could also try and train reporters to add these keywords when they
know?
I exchanged some emails with Chris Brown and I think I am going to look
at just updating the
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage
page. That page has a list of bug assignments that we could update and
use for this.
