+JMeter uses Bugzilla for issue tracking, i.e. for reporting bugs and requesting enhancements.
+</p>
+<p>
+Before creating a new issue, please check whether the issue has already been reported by searching Bugzilla.
+It's also worth checking first on the JMeter user mailing list; others may already have a solution.

+<p>
+First check that the issue has not already been reported. 
+If reporting a bug, are you sure it really is a bug in JMeter, not just a misunderstanding of how JMeter works?
+</p>
+<p>
+If you have not already done so, you need to register an account first, using the "New Account" link at the top of the
+main Bugzilla page: <a href="https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/">https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+Make sure you read and understand the information on the account creation page before signing up.

+Once logged in, click "File a bug" and select JMeter from the list.

+<section name="Required Information">
+<p>
+Please make sure you provide sufficient information for others to be able to make use of the report effectively.
+Use the checklist below to guide you.

+<li>JMeter version</li>
+<li>Java version (output from java -version)</li>
+<li>OS version</li>
+<li>jmeter.log file (unlikely to contain sensitive information, but check before uploading)</li>
+<li>JMX file if relevant (redact any sensitive information first)</li>
+<li>JTL file if relevant (may need to redact sensitive information)</li>
+<li>For a suspected bug, describe what you did, what happened, and how this differs from what you expected to happen.
+Does it happen every time?
+</li>
+<li>If you are providing a patch to fix a bug, please ensure it is in unified diff format.
+If using Eclipse, please set the patch root to "Project", not the default "Workspace" which is harder to apply.</li>
+<li>New source files can be provided as is; please ensure they have the standard Apache License header (as per other JMeter files).
+Please do not use @author tags (credit will be given in the changes file).
