It's still not a perfect plan, because this is what tends to happen: 1. someone is cc'd via the bugzilla interface 2. the maintainer responds via replying to the email and cc's someone else 3. bugzilla doesn't automatically synchronize the email Cc: fields and the bug's cc list, so any responses posted via the web interface don't go to people who were cc'd via email Let me ponder what can be done about that. If you're interested in helping to get the bugzilla product list into a sane format, I can suggest that you work on creating a mapping file between bugzilla product/component and MAINTAINERS entry, maybe just for the "S: Maintained" and "S: Supported" ones? E.g., starting from the top: 3CR990 NETWORK DRIVER -> Drivers/3CR990 3WARE SAS/SATA-RAID SCSI DRIVERS (3W-XXXX, 3W-9XXX, 3W-SAS) -> Drivers/3WARE 53C700 AND 53C700-66 SCSI DRIVER -> Drivers/53C700 ... etc ... That would allow me to automate the creation of components *and* work on a better email bridge than what bugzilla can currently do. -K
