398Managing bug reports
399--------------------
400
401One of the best ways to put into practice your hacking skills is by fixing
402bugs reported by other people. Not only you will help to make the kernel
403more stable, you'll learn to fix real world problems and you will improve
404your skills, and other developers will be aware of your presence. Fixing
405bugs is one of the best ways to get merits among other developers, because
406not many people like wasting time fixing other people's bugs.
407
408To work in the already reported bug reports, go to http://bugzilla.kernel.org.
409If you want to be advised of the future bug reports, you can subscribe to the
410bugme-new mailing list (only new bug reports are mailed here) or to the
