To find out the list of maintainers responsible for a particular kernel subsystem, use the [get_maintainer.pl](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/scripts/get_maintainer.pl) script: `./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f guilty_file.c`. Please also add `syzkaller@googlegroups.com` to the CC list. -If the bug is reproducible, include the reproducer (C source if possible, otherwise a syzkaller program) and `.config` you used for your kernel. -If the reprocucer is available only in the form of a syzkaller program, please link [the instructions on how to execute them](executing_syzkaller_programs.md) in your report. Bugs without reproducers are way less likely to be triaged and fixed. +If the bug is reproducible, include the reproducer (C source if possible, otherwise a syzkaller program) and the `.config` you used for your kernel. +If the reprocucer is available only in the form of a syzkaller program, please link [the instructions on how to execute them](executing_syzkaller_programs.md) in your report. +Check that the reproducer works if you run it manually. + Make sure to also mention the exact kernel branch and revision.
