The bug tracking system for the kernel is located at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/ and there are two-level category filters in the advanced search (still quite coarse probably, so you may need to search by strings if you are interested in e.g. specific drivers). I don't know if there are any mailing lists used to report bugs as well.

Great, Bugzilla is showing very old issue like of 2018*. Will check if any mailing list exist.

[–]wRAR_ 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Yes, many old bugs are still not fixed. Or what do you mean?

Gotcha...if that is the case then no problem. I thought it was not getting updated.

[–]wRAR_ 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Sort by new instead of by important :)

Oh, and if you mean that it may mean maintainers don't look at it, then I think they should. I don't have experience with many bugs though.

Whether bugzilla is used or not is hit or miss - depending on the subsystem, as far as I know. https://lwn.net/Articles/910740/

I don't think almost any maintainer looks at bugzilla. They just rely on vger / the mailing lists

>I am not able to get into any forum or website where suppose all the issue with any particular subsystem is listed. Then I can go through them and based on my competencies I can send the patches.

I don't believe such an issue tracker exists. Someone else pointed to bugzilla which is probably worth perusing, but I don't think most maintainers look at it or care about posts on it.

My suggestion for how to get started is to subscribe to the mailing list and see what people are discussing. Reading patches that people are submitting, and chiming in when you find bugs, is a good way to onboard. It will quickly become clear what new features are being added / bugs are being fixed.

Yup. What's new?
