When I tracked regressions I also Cc'ed all submitters, maintainers of all affected subsystems, and the people who said they'd handle the reports. The problem I ran into was vger dropping emails with >= 30 recipients, which meant that I had to split the regression list into half a dozen emails (splitted by the area of the regressions) when I tracked at about 30 regressions. But that was one year ago when we had only half as many regressions per release as they do now, with 2.6.25 we had a peak of 66 pending regressions... > Linus cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days. "Only a promise," Lao Er said. Pearl S.
