Sorry for being so clueless but the first step at bugs.freedesktop.org
is to "pick a product". What "product" is the new randr specification
(or would the putative implementation be) part of: Specifications?
xorg? XStandards? If I search for "randr", the first bug returned lists
"xserver" as the product but that's not even listed as far as I can see.
