If you are using a FC release and think you have found a bug, but want to
verify others have seen it, fedora-list.

If you are using a FC test or testing packages and think you have found a
bug, but want to verify others have seen it, fedora-test-list.

If you are sure you have a bug, bugzilla.

If you just want to say "hey, here's a bug that isn't fixed"... don't.  If
it is in bugzilla it will get looked at.  If it isn't happening fast
enough for you, feel free to figure out work-arounds and/or code patches
and post them to bugzilla.  Trying to get a bug fixed by being a "squeaky
wheel" on the list will not only get the developers to start ignoring you,
but other members of the list, too.

That only leaves the fedora-devel list.  I would say that list is for
people actively getting their hands dirty in the code on a regular basis.
