FWIW, for Intel graphics (i915) we don't want any bug reports at
bugzilla.kernel.org. We've migrated away more than five years ago. The
"Video (DRI - Intel)" component was closed for new bugs around that
time, the description points at freedesktop.org as does MAINTAINERS:

INTEL DRM DRIVERS (excluding Poulsbo, Moorestown and derivative chipsets)
B: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/wikis/How-to-file-i915-bugs


BR,
Jani.
