Subject[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Add "B:" preferred bug reporting method
Message-ID<qRdRo-7uO-7@gated-at.bofh.it>
Different subsystems and drivers have different preferred ways of
receiving bug reports; mailing list or bugzillas at various
locations. Add "B:" entry for specifying the preference to guide bug
reporters at the right location.

While at it, document the freedesktop.org bugzilla as the preferred
location for drm/i915 bug reports. We have more reassignment of bugs
between the kernel and userspace components than with other kernel
components, and we've thus consolidated our bug tracking there.

This requires a LoginID & password

Maybe useful to show the open bugs too:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?component=DRM%2FIntel&product=DRI&resolution=---

Maybe the get_maintainer script should be updated.
Something like: (untested)

It does, and I expect basically any bug reporting tool to do so.

I was divided about linking to the form requiring login directly, but
this helps the reporter to the right product and component, which may
not be obvious. Anything to make the bug reporters' lives easier.

In the end, I don't mind whether it's the URL I suggested, the URL you
suggested, or some combination, as long as it directs the bug reporter
to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/.

The main idea is just to make the life of bug reporters and maintainers
easier by documenting where the maintainers want the bugs reported.

Jani.
