i have updated http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenFaq with "how to report a
bug".


Cool.
Maybe it's a good idea, to point to that FAQ, or just print this
information on the bugzilla frontpage - I also posted a handful of
bugs recently, without announcing them on xen-devel in addition, and I
also was thinking they will  probably be fixed in  some future
version. Now I know, without announcing them on devel there's not much
hope, even if patches are attached...

BTW: maybe someone let the email-only communicating developers know
that there is a mailing list that sends out mails on each new bug? :)

And, one last thing: if I'd know that it's easier to get a bugfix in
when I send it in a specific format(maybe mercurial has a mail output,
like darcs?), I surely used that way.
