I think you're right they should be merged into one if they are 
basically rootfs issue, a rootfs bug discrete from any platform.

I don't think it's a good idea to bind it to a Landing Team unless 
there's something they can / should do about it.  For example -->

> Tethering feature missing in ICS*
> Snowball: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/887961
> Origen: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/887971
> iMX53: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/887976
> Panda: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/879351

If the issue is that there's no rootfs stuff in place to do tethering 
menus / scripts or whatever happens in android rootfs, but the kernel is 
happily supplying all the needed modules in a workable way, fact is the 
Landing Team doesn't care.  But if there's something broken with usb 
support killing tethering on a particular platform, it should be in 
scope for us (even if we can't actually fix it right now).

> *Hardware accelerated Audio support missing*
> Snowball: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/888025
> iMX53: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/888027
> Panda/Beagle: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/888026

I don't even know what "hardware accelerated audio support" is talking 
about frankly.

Generally though I think Abishek is doing something interesting with 
testing like a user orthogonal to our technical structure.  However if 
the resulting bugs are excessive, or are somehow not interesting or in 
contact with people who can do something about them, it's not useful in 
the end.
