There you go. There's a link to an FAQ which contains items 'How do I find
the kernel team?' and 'I have a kernel problem where do I go?'.
Not easy enough? OK. There's also a link to the that wiki page in the README in
the mainline ppa and in the HTML header.

Sorry that we're not perfect but it's not that hard to find us.

Is that not good enough either? How about this: What I found in the meantime is
that it's supposed to be fixed since yesterday.
