bugzilla.kernel.org administration: Tell users to report at mailinglists, not at the tracker

[Stefan Richter]

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.
