Yeah, that would be the good approach, but that would take some time and
work to set up.

Which would mean that all regressions need to get an entry in
bugzilla.kernel.org. I'm not sure if that's a wise approach, as some
developers/subsystems don't use it afaics: some use other bug trackers,
others just use mailing lists and might not be too happy if they'd have
to deal with bugzilla.

Obviously I could file tracking bugs in our bugzilla. But I wonder if
that is worth the work; and it could lead to confusion once a regression
reporter puts some crucial information into the tracking bug entry
instead of posting it to the proper place where the developers discuss
the problem.
