Comment 19 for bug 1108457

GPratique, thank you for your comments. Regarding them https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1108457/comments/18 :
>"Although it seems to me that this bug has already been reported in different ways multiple times across multiple distributions. For example bug #1070773 here at launchpad looks pretty much a duplicate to me."

linux (Ubuntu) bug reports are treated as separate reports based on the preference of the Ubuntu Kernel team:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Filing_Kernel_Bug_reports

and the Ubuntu Bug Control team and Ubuntu Bug Squad:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue

unless a developer notes otherwise.

>"Is there a way to contact the dev who did the commit discovered by Fibonacci, i.e. Dave Airlie? He seems pretty high up in the food chain, and would probably be of great help."

Unfortunately, one does not contact people simply based on a the maintainership hierarchy, as this is considered spam. If we did, all issues would then just go to Linus, who has better things to do, then entertain every "I have a bug in the linux kernel" e-mail sent to him.

Despite this, Fibonacci not performing the actions previously requested of him are counterproductive to getting this issue resolved, for the reasons stated previously. If you have further questions, please do not comment further in this report, but instead you may contact me directly, place them in the appropriate forum, and perform the actions previously requested of you in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1108457/comments/12 .

Thank you for your understanding.
