These are fields the tool can't fill automatically and is asking you to
fill in. Many HCL reports submitted on this list still have FIXME for
cpu-short, chipset-short and gpu-short.
* cpu-short is the easiest, here are a few examples:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) W-10855M CPU @ 2.80GHz --> W-10855M
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz --> i5-5200U
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor --> Ryzen 5 3600
* chipset-short is the code name of the chipset architecture
e.g. Skylake, Haswell, Comet Lake etc.
this can be determined by search for the PCI ID like [8086:9b54]
* gpu-short is the same thing for the graphics component
... I am working on a tool to verify and complete HCLs before posting
them to the website that will automatically find the correct and
consistent values for cpu-short, chipset-short and gpu-short.
These three get combined when displayed in the HCL table like this:
"i7-7700HQ Kaby Lake Integrated (Intel HD 630) "

I assume by "bugs" you mean the FIXME's explained above? If you have
trouble finding the right values for cpu-short, chipset-short and
gpu-short, just leave them as FIXME. I'll double-check and eventually
correct them anyway before submitting in a PR.

If you are worried about information leakage and none of the core
developers has requested this information from you: don't send it.
