Different subsystems and drivers have different preferences for where to
file bugs and what information to include. Add "B:" entry for specifying
the URI for the bug tracker directly, a web page for detailed info on
filing bugs, or a mailto: URI.

Dust settled since the last time, maybe we can make URI work?

fwiw I want this, I think documenting bugzilla and irc channels (for
subsystems and drivers using them) will help a lot to make
(sub)communities of the kernel more approachable. On the entire series:

Both new fields seem like a very, very good idea to me. It'll definitely 
save me a bit of googling and wiki-searching on the rare occasion I 
venture outside powerpc...

For the whole series:
