-## Effective bug reports
-
-* Include a descriptive subject line (e.g. the program with which
-  you experience a problem, and what the problem is).
-* Include the version of the program (e.g. the output of `PROG --version`).
-* Include the operating system and the type of hardware you are using
-  (e.g. the output of `uname -a`).
-* Include the exact command and parameters you have used.
-* Clearly explain what is the output you expected to get, and what is
-  the actual result you encountered.
-* Include as much information as possible to reproduce the problem.
-  If the problem happens on a very large input file, try to provide
-  a minimal example (a subset of the input file) that still causes the problem.
-  *Do not* include attachments over 40kB.
-* List policy is reply-to-all, and non-subscribers may post.
-* There may be a moderation delay for a first-time post, whether or not
-  you subscribe.

-## Mailing List Etiquette
-
-When sending messages to [email protected] or [email protected] :
-
-* Send messages as plain text.
-* Do not send messages encoded as HTML nor encoded as base64 MIME nor
-  included as multiple formats.
-* Avoid sending large messages, such as log files, system call trace
-  output, and other content resulting in messages over about 40 kB.
-* Avoid sending screenshots (e.g. PNG files). When reporting errors
-  you encounter on the terminal, copy and paste the text to your message.
