Multiple researchers using the same tools to find the same bugs are creating ‘unnecessary pain and pointless work’

    and then filling the list with duplicate reports.

    Ok, so the system need to be changed, it’s not “AI”

      Ah yes, the system that has worked perfectly 24-7 for 30some years just started to not work so well coincidentally around the time LLMs took off and started spamming it.

      Totally unrelated tho. Riiiiiight.

        A mailing list is a terrible “system” for reporting bugs. The real problem is how many people can easily find these bugs now, and how there is no good method for reporting them.

        But yeah, double down.

          It works fine for its intended usecase. The problem is that AI-based reports are clogging it up and probably need a separate flow. Linus mentioned that they probably don’t need the same secrecy that the security mailinglist affords.
