+** How do I report a bug in Emacs now?
+The same way as you always did. Send mail to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org,
+or use M-x report-emacs-bug.
+
+The only differences are:
+
+i) Your report will be assigned a number and generate an automatic reply.
+
+ii) Optionally, you can set some database parameters when you first
+report a bug (see "Setting bug parameters" below).
+
+iii) If you want to CC: someone, use X-Debbugs-CC: (see below).
+
+Once your report is filed and assigned a number, it is sent out to the
+bug mailing list. In some cases, it may be appropriate to just file a
+bug, without sending out a copy. To do this, send mail to
+quiet@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com.
+
+** How do I reply to an existing bug report?
+Reply to 123@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com, replacing 123 with the number
+of the bug you are interested in. Cc anyone you like. Do NOT send
+a copy to the bug list, since this may generate a new report. The
+only time to send mail to the bug list is to create a new report.
** When reporting a bug, to send a Cc to another address
(e.g. bug-cc-mode@gnu.org), do not just use a Cc: header.
