Well, I asked around about that, but not sure how easy/possible it is
to do with our current setup. Basically bugzilla gets populated from
pkgdb, which has a list of packages, owners, cc people, etc.
It doesn't have a way to say: kernel is this, and has subsystem X, Y, Z
Yep, that's the answer I'd heard before too, unfortunately.
It's a pity that the tools seem to be this inflexible.
the
kernel.org bugzilla is much better at this. :(
Of course we might be able to change the setup, but thats not going
to
be easy/short term. :( I also wish there was a way to setup a template
per component, so we could ask the reporters for all the standard
things we want and point them at the kernelcommon issues page, etc.
That'd be nice too.

How about if a group of bugzappers added you to CC and add a
'filesystem' keyword on the bug so you could search for all those?
We could also try and train reporters to add these keywords when they
know?
I exchanged some emails with Chris Brown and I think I am going to look
at just updating the
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage
page. That page has a list of bug assignments that we could update and
use for this.
I think anything that lets the initial reporter take a stab at putting things
in the right bucket would help; ideally, it'd be a mechanism that sends me
email, but if it at least is queryable that'd help...
Thanks,
