6 Although every situation is different, this section describes how to
7 collect data which will help make efficient use of everyone's time
8 when dealing with vpp bugs.
10 Before you press the Jira button to create a bug report - or email
11 vpp-dev@lists.fd.io - please ask yourself whether there's enough
12 information for someone else to understand and to reproduce the issue
13 given a reasonable amount of effort. **Unicast emails to maintainers,
14 committers, and the project PTL are strongly discouraged.**
16 A good strategy for clear-cut bugs: file a detailed Jira ticket, and
17 then send a short description of the issue to vpp-dev@lists.fd.io,
18 perhaps from the Jira ticket description. It's fine to send email to
19 vpp-dev@lists.fd.io to ask a few questions **before** filing Jira tickets.
