So you sent a bug report to a mailing list (instead of the bug tracker) and
from the lack of responses you infer that everyone who is unknown is ignored?

That doesn't make any sense. Report bugs in bugzilla and discuss on the list.

I'm sure you'll have a better experience that way.

I too think it would make sense to discuss this issue on the list.

I think you should also make sure to include the appropriate kernel-side
maintainers in Cc, so that they will participate in the discussion from
the start.

I'd suggest that you start by asking them how they view the situation,
rather than starting by assuming that they should change anything.
