Description Drei Eck 2021-11-12 18:33:19 UTC 
There are parts of the kernel where bugs should _not_ be reported on bugzilla.kernel.org, but at different locations.

This is not clear if one enters bugzilla.kernel.org to report a bug and then clicks through the categories to find the best matching category.

Example:

Bug #213633 (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213633), which was reported in Drivers/Video(Other), where 4 months after reporting the notification

> Please file drm/i915 bugs at freedesktop.org gitlab.
> 
> https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/wikis/How-to-file-i915-bugs

was given.

It would have been very helpful if the "*Component Description*" does contain information when bugs to specific kernel parts should be reported elsewhere.

Regards!
