As a rule, ACPI bugs submitted through the BZ are processed by the ACPI team (not necessarily by me in person, though), but the response time may vary, so it's better to report urgent issues by sending e-mail to linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org. Definitely issues where table dumps or similar are requested are best handled in the BZ, so reporters can be asked to create a BZ entry for a bug reported by e-mail anyway. If you are interested in the history (ie. what issues were reported in the past), you need to look at both the BZ and the ml record. HTH
