Those @kernel-bugs email addresses should not be a problem:
https://korg.docs.kernel.org/bugzilla.html#real-assignees-vs-virtual-assignees
AFAIK, USB bugs go to linux-usb@vger.kernel.org,
SCSI bugs go to linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org.
netdev didn't want bugs sent there automatically IIRC, so a
human takes care of doing that if warranted.
Andrew Morton takes MM bugs and Cc:s them to linux-mm mailing list
and then asks for discussion to continue on the mailing list.
We could/should probably see if we can add more project-specific
mailing lists to the automatic reporting -- but probably not LKML.
Otherwise some bug reports might never be heard about.
