A few comments:
Report counts may be too high due to duplicate recognition of the very
same report.¹
this is true however it's .. a hard issue. It's really hard to distinguish a duplicate report from
two reports of the same bug.
Reports against 2.6.X-rcY-mmZ are listed in the same category as reports
against 2.6.X-rcY. To distinguish -mm reports from vanilla reports, one
has to look into the details of each bug entry.¹
finding what exact kernel version an oops is from is... surprisingly hard.
And to be honest, bugs against -mm are still very interesting, since they'll be
the next mainline after all
A general weakness is that it is ultimately impossible to know whether a
report was against an unpatched kernel, unless one drills down to the
individual mailinglist threads.
for the same reason patched kernels are relevant. And if someone has a super weirdo kernel,
well, as long as we get enough bug data it'll be way down in the noise.
Reports about tainted kernels have arguably less value. It would be
good to hide such reports until a report of the same oops in an
untainted kernel was found.
That's half of what is done right now; they're not hidden though, just very clearly marked.
