### What is Debbugs ###
Debbugs is a stable, scaleable bug reporting and issue tracking system. Debbugs has a web interface for viewing and searching issues in the database but unlike other bug tracking systems, Debbugs has no web interface for editing bug reports - all modification is done via email.
-### Developers ###
-
-This bug tracking system was developed by Ian Jackson from 1994-1997,
-with assistance from nCipher Corporation Limited in 1997. nCipher allowed
-Ian to redistribute modifications he made to the system while working as an
-employee of nCipher.
-
-Since then, it has been developed by the various administrators of
-bugs.debian.org, including Darren Benham, Adam Heath, Josip Rodin, Anthony
-Towns, and Colin Watson. As in the case of Ian, nCipher allowed Colin to
-redistribute modifications he made while working as an employee of nCipher.
+The most notable deployment of Debbugs is on the [Debian project](https://www.debian.org/Bugs/)
