Finding who to send it to

Parent article: Ask a kernel developer

So you can grep through the kernel for the error string and find who to contact - but you'll end up cc'ing the main linux-kernel list anyway. Couldn't some of this be automated - have a single contact address from where reports will be forwarded to the right person, by looking at function names mentioned in the report?

It is automated, it's called akpm (for automated kernel patch/problem manager).
