+# Debbugs: 22 years of bugs
+
+The Debian Bug Tracking system Debbugs is rapidly approaching 1
+million bugs and 90,000 unique correspondents, and is still central to
+the release and development process of Debian. We will examine the
+history and statistics of bug reporting in Debian, discuss the changes
+being made to make Debbugs faster and help maintainers cope with
+additional bugs. We will also explain how developers can contribute to
+Debbugs and join the Debbugs development team.
