This question seems to be coming up a lot lately. And indeed, looking at the webpage and the wiki, we are not very clear that the mailing list is the place for such things. Do you mind telling us where you looked? That will give us at least one spot that we know should be more clear. :) In the meantime, I've updated: 1. The GitCommunity wiki page to mention that bug reports should go to the list. 2. Added an entry "How do I report a bug in git?" to the FAQ on the wiki. 3. Sent Scott a patch for git-scm.org to mention bug reporting under the big "Got questions" banner on the front page that points people to the mailing list. Pull request is here: https://github.com/schacon/gitscm/pull/11 It may make sense to have a specific page on reporting bugs, and link to it via a bigger "how to report bugs" somewhere on the front page of git-scm.org. -Peff
