Hello, My name is Carla and I'm member of the Ubuntu laptop testing team. I was asked to report a bug upstream on bugzilla.kernel.org. As bugzilla.kernel.org is down, must I wait for it to be restored or is there an alternative way to report a bug ?
Thank you.

Thank you.

The alternative is to report the bug here, CCing the appropriate subsystem lists (and later filing the bug under bugzilla once it comes back - if needed)

Even when bugzilla.kernel.org was functional, the better way to report kernel bugs was widely regarded to post at LKML (and any appropriate subsystem mailinglist). Many (?) developers consider bugzilla.kernel.org to be a _tracking_ tool rather than a reporting tool. Some developers did not like to interact with bugzilla.kernel.org at all.

I too think that bug reporting and bug tracking are not entirely the same, and that LKML (or kernel subsystem mailinglists, respectively) are usually preferable for bug reporting.
