Also explain what a regression actually is and how to report one

the kernel's regression tracker uses to facilitate his work. To sum
things up, provide a few quotes from Linus to show how serious he takes
regressions.

+The important bits for people fixing regressions
+================================================

+When receiving regression reports by mail, check if the reporter CCed
`the
+regression mailing list <https://lore.kernel.org/regressions/>`_
+(regressions@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). If not, forward or bounce the report
to the Linux
+kernel's regression tracker (regressions@xxxxxxxxxxxxx), unless you
plan on
I would have expected it to be the same mailing list
(regressions@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx), is this a typo maybe?
Thx for taking a look. Hmm. That's possible, but I (and the grep call I
just ran) fail to spot the typo.
Maybe the wording is to confusing: regressions@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the
list, regressions@xxxxxxxxxxxxx is a dedicated email address I (the
kernel's regression tracker) use for regression tracking (which reminds
me: maybe I should ask for a alias like regressions@xxxxxxxxxx or
regression-tracker@xxxxxxxxxx).
Ciao, Thorsten
