Have you tried to look at the kernelnewbies site (https://kernelnewbies.org/)? I don't know if it speaks about how to use bugzilla but there is a full topic on how to contribute.

Hi, Thanks for reply. I am submitting some cleanup patches for now. I will like to solve some beginner issues. Where can I find such issues or bug-lists? Thanks.

I'm not an expert, I've tried it myself but never achieved the first patch ;). First, you can follow this First kernel patch tutorial <https://kernelnewbies.org/FirstKernelPatch> Then, you have several options: - work on staging drivers (drivers in staging with a TODO list) - participate to the kernel janitors project (or another project). HTH,
Thanks.
How can I participate in these projects? Will someone guide me ?? Thanks. On Fri, Aug 25, 2017 at 5:29 PM, loïc tourlonias <loic.tourlonias@gmail.com> wrote:
