Hi, whoever administers bugzilla.kernel.org:

Please change the text at the start page to say something along the lines of:

---------------------------------------------------------------
This is a kernel bug tracker.
Do *not* report bugs here.
Some bugs are /tracked/ here, but they are /not reported/ here.

Please report bugs at the kernel mailinglists. Thank you.

Some tips:
REPORTING-BUGS - http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=blob;f=REPORTING-BUGS

List addresses:
MAINTAINERS - http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=blob;f=MAINTAINERS
(Almost all kernel mailinglists are open for postings without
prior subscription.)
---------------------------------------------------------------

So, if you could please stop to mislead users into thinking that they are welcome to open tickets at bugzilla.kernel.org, that would be really helpful to everyone involved.

Thanks.

I think that is the least of the issues at this point.

The kernel bugzilla needs a set of administrators, and a plan of action, not more bandaid fixing.
