Understood, but there's a lot of users out there that don't want to receive emails from dri-devel. They just want to submit a bug, walk away, then get some response back to say it's fixed, or someone's working on it, or it won't be fixed etc. But with the SF bug tracking system we are currently sending bug reports, patches etc to the dri-patches mailing list. Maybe we should re-route them to dri-devel to get more feedback. The problem we're facing is that there's no formal process to assigning the bug report, so no-one else knows whether someone could be working on it or not, thus duplicating effort. Development is ideally what we all want to be doing, but there's a few admin type tasks we really do have to bear - and that's the uphill struggle.
