Your comments are a little cryptic. I'm assuming you worked out that I pasted the wrong URL into the message (my local copy of the page, rather than the online copy), and found th eonline copy. I don't understand your comment. The glibc web page links to http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/ for the bugzilla -- which seems to be an alias for the same bugzilla as soureware.org (or vice versa).

But it is just my thoughts and advice -- and creating a reference in each man page to a page that describes how kernel bugs should be reported gives that advice more authority than it currently deserves, IMO.
