>If you want a notification, then send an email or just subscribe to the list. You can have your email program or email server move all the email from the list to a folder, and mark everything not in the thread(s) you care about as read if you want, just so that you don’t have to waste your time looking at the emails you don’t care about. This overly complicated. I consider myself more technical than 99% of people and even I couldn't tell you how to do this. How do you except a normal person to be able to figure this out. Do you think your parents could figure this out if they encountered a kernel bug? >Or if you think a lot of people want a bug tracker so that they don’t ever have to talk to another human being, maybe you should provide that service yourself. There are plenty of source forges which offer this. Look at what KDE or freedesktop have done with hosting their own. |

You don’t even know how to filter the email you get? That is extremely sad. And yes, my parents do know how to set up their own email filters. On the other hand they would probably call me or one of my brothers if they encountered a kernel bug; free family tech support beats troubleshooting any day of the week :P

That’s not what I meant. Most kernel developers have no interest in bug trackers, self–hosted or otherwise. If you think that there are enough people who do, you could act as an intermediary by running one yourself and charging for access.
