The kernel is a bit special, because issues are frequent, upstream
information policy is vague and fixes need to be applied to a
plethora of Woody, Sarge and sid kernels. Thus, most kernel tracking
is now done in the Subversion repo of the kernel team (in the
patchtracking/ directory). I''m gatewaying the relevant bits to the
secure-testing tracker, but anyone with a special interest should
better subscribe to the kernel-svn-commit mailing list instead.
