Clearly several of you are under a misconception as to the role of the
Ubuntu Kernel Team. I will attempt to clarify.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is focused on providing the most stable kernel
possible for a release schedule of 6 months. This means that they are
committed to pulling in the patches from upstream that make the most
sense and are stable enough to be included for a distro release. They
are not the type of team that works through kernel bugs and resolve them
in the upstream source. For that you would need to open bugs with
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/ as they are the upstream maintainers of the
Linux kernel. The Ubuntu Kernel Team accepts bugs so that we can pull
the relevant fixes from the upstream source where possible. This is the
only use case for our tracking of bugs and it is also what contributes
in some cases to the length of time in response to open bugs.

Should your testing against upstream kernels such as those available in
the kernel PPA by following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds
then my suggestion is that you should file an upstream bug report to
have this looked at by the kernel maintainers. Information and
suggestion on filing upstream bug reports is available at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Bugs in the section titled 'Reporting
Bugs Upstream'
