+To report a bug, send an email describing your problem to the Crossroads
+mailing list. To make sure your bug report won't be missed, you can file a
+report in the bug tracker at <https://github.com/crossroads-io/libxs/issues>.
-Prefix the subject of your post with `[BUG]` to catch the developers
-attention.
+To help Crossroads developers to fix the bug, please try to provide a minimal
+test program, ideally written in C, that reproduces the problem you are
+reporting.
-To ensure that your report is dealt with promptly, please attach a minimal
-test case reproducing the bug, ideally written in C.
+NOTE: The bug tracker exists primarily to track bugs and pertinent data (test
+cases, crash logs, etc.). You should not use it for _discussion_. In the bug
+tracker your audience will be very limited. Mailing list serves the purpose of
+discussing bugs much better.
