+Reproducing, analyzing and fixing bugs
+--------------------------------------
+
+A first way of contributing is to have a look at the open bug reports in
+the https://bugs.busybox.net/buglist.cgi?product=buildroot[Buildroot bug
+tracker]. As we strive to keep the bug count as small as possible, all
+help in reproducing, analyzing and fixing reported bugs is more than
+welcome. Don't hesitate to add a comment to bug reports reporting your
+findings, even if you don't yet see the full picture.
