Why not include a user-space tool that, when invoked, if you agree to
send personnal info, sends your hardware vs driver info to a web
database + your email address (maybie even you .config, etc..) ... In
case of help for testing new patches/finding a bug/etc.. your email
could be used by maintainers to ask for help...

You would'nt even need to search in GIT. Maybie even when ever a
patchset is being proposed a mail could be sent to appropriate
hardware/or feature pseudo-auto-generated mailing-list?
On lkml I mostly try to follow patches/bugs associated with hardware I
use. Why not try to automate the process and get more testers in?
I think this is an excellent point. One data point could be a field in
bugzilla to input the hardware information. Simple query can select
common hardware and platform. So far it's not working when hardware is
just mentioned in the text part.
