[BUG] Kernel Bugs Weekly (maybe bi-weekly)

Thu Dec 13 23:57:24 EST 2007

This is the listing of open bugs that are not new time wise, mostly
over a month old, which is a long time for current rate of
development.
Most bugs need initial response, and all need attention (tlc).
It would be appreciated if the corresponding maintenance team could
take a look at the bugs, close off any which are fixed and see if they
can fix any which aren't.

It would be best to make a note to the reporter and others who are
searching for answers in bugzillas that bug is being worked on. (After
all, bugzilla is not just a tracking tool, it is a knowledge base for
many grateful users.) It is also encouraged setting status to
"assigned" in those bugs that are "taken".

Thanks.
