Maybe. I'll let Stephen say. But I think the big issue is the "blocking testing" part. If it's "just" regular bugs, then: > FWIW, the issue of "syzbot report sent and ignored for months/years" is actually > a much broader one which applies to all bugs, not just build / test breakages. I don't know what to do about that, but it may be that people just don't judge the bugs interesting or assume that they are old. That's what made bugzilla so useless - being flooded with stale bugs that might not be worth worrying about, and no way to really tell. So old bugs generally should be aged out, and then if they still happen, prioritized. With "this keeps us from even finding new bugs" being a fairly high priority.. One de-motivational issue with syzbot reported bugs may be that they sometimes get sent to the wrong set of people - but still wide enough that everybody feels it's somebody elses issue. A kind of bystander effect for bugs. Linus
