The current state of bugzilla for the kernel is pretty depressing. Counting in all the bugs we never fixed for FC5 (a lot of which are probably still valid for everything through to rawhide), there are around 1600 open bugs.
In an attempt to disperse some of the 'triage' type work to volunteers, I've started a page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage with some simple things that people can do to help out.
Any additions/improvements welcomed.

As folks may have noticed I've started on this, specifically those opened against F7 since release. Please let me know if I'm treading on toes or some such.
One thing I would like to know whether bugs that are resolved by adding boot flags are to be considered resolved or do they still need to be open. I will add the answer to the triage page on the wiki.
Other than that you can expect to see the bug count start to drop quite rapidly now and hopefully the issues that have not been resolved will be more visible and to that end I'm considering a "These are some of the bugs that _really_ need looking at" post once a week or so. Those in favour, speak now.
