Hi all,
We definitely aren't 100% in business yet with the tracking of regressions, but since the Bugzilla is operational again, we can collect reports at least.
I'd like to use this opportunity to thank Maciej Rutecki and Florian Mickler for their hard work on the regression tracking and to clarify some things that seem to have caused some confusion to happen recently. Namely, we use the kernel Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.kernel.org) for the tracking of regressions for the simple reason that our scripts generate the lists that are posted (like the one below) out of Bugzilla entries created by us (and sometimes by other people). Those entries are used by us as a storage of information, so we're going to add them even though some kernel developers don't seem to like that. We don't require developers to actually use those entries for handling bug reports, we only need people to let us know when they should be closed, because the bug has been fixed in the Linus' tree, or when there's a patch available for the bug (in which case we mark it as "resolved", but we don't close it just yet). There is no reason for you to be openly hostile to Maciej, who's been creating those entries recently, because he's just been doing his job. However, you may not want us to track kernel regressions at all, in which case please let us know about that and we will find some other, presumably equally interesting things to do. :-)
Yes, we might have been more verbose about what _exactly_ we've been using the Bugzilla for and what our workflow is, but at the same time people might have been a bit less harsh to someone who's been doing a service to the community, completely voluntarily.
Thanks, Rafael

For details, please visit the bug entries and follow the links given in references.
As you can see, there is a Bugzilla entry for each of the listed regressions. There also is a Bugzilla entry used for tracking the regressions from 3.2, unresolved as well as resolved, at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42644
Please let the tracking team know if there are any Bugzilla entries that should be added to the list in there.
Thanks!
