This bug was actually hidden in bugzilla for ages, where Matthew Wilcox

from a linux-scsi question on 13 November, when regrettably, I was busy
with other things) was on 18 Dec when Natalie added me to the bugzilla
cc list. The first thing I did on that date was finger pktcdvd and add
Jens to the cc list ... however, since there was no mailing list thread
to follow he ended up asking for context which no-one provided.

Not true. I sent my response to the bug to linux-scsi and cc'd bugzilla.
Unfortunately, the bug reporter sent the information requested to bugzilla
instead of linux-scsi. So it got lost and overlooked.

If there's willingness to change, I'm willing to put some effort into
moving us to a bug tracking system that fits our workflow better than
bugzilla. But if that effort will be disregarded, then let me know now
so I don't waste my time.

Well, I'd say yes, certainly, and I'll support the effort ... but the
problem is that I'm not one of the powers that be who control our
current bugzilla ... that's the constituency we need to convince. As I
keep saying, just getting new SCSI bug reports tipped onto the SCSI
mailing list will give us about 90% of what we need, but I haven't even
managed to get that to happen.
