This requires a LoginID & password

Maybe useful to show the open bugs too:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?component=DRM%2FIntel&product=DRI&resolution=---

Maybe the get_maintainer script should be updated.
Something like: (untested)

It does, and I expect basically any bug reporting tool to do so.

I was divided about linking to the form requiring login directly, but
this helps the reporter to the right product and component, which may
not be obvious. Anything to make the bug reporters' lives easier.

In the end, I don't mind whether it's the URL I suggested, the URL you
suggested, or some combination, as long as it directs the bug reporter
to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/.

The main idea is just to make the life of bug reporters and maintainers
easier by documenting where the maintainers want the bugs reported.

Jani.
