+.SH BUGS
+.PP
+Bugs and suggestions should be reported at:
+<https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues> .
+Unless you were prompted so or there is another pertinent reason (e.g.
+GitHub fails to accept the bug report), please do not send bug reports
+via personal email.
+.PP
+Please include the full output of the command when run with
+\f[C]\-\-verbose\f[].
+The output (including the first lines) contain important debugging
+information.
+Issues without the full output are often not reproducible and therefore
+do not get solved in short order, if ever.
 .PP
 For discussions, join us in the irc channel #youtube\-dl on freenode.
+.PP
+When you submit a request, please re\-read it once to avoid a couple of
+mistakes (you can and should use this as a checklist):
+.SS Is the description of the issue itself sufficient?
+.PP
+We often get issue reports that we cannot really decipher.
+While in most cases we eventually get the required information after
+asking back multiple times, this poses an unnecessary drain on our
+resources.
+Many contributors, including myself, are also not native speakers, so we
+may misread some parts.
+.PP
+So please elaborate on what feature you are requesting, or what bug you
+want to be fixed.
+Make sure that it\[aq]s obvious
+.IP \[bu] 2
+What the problem is
+.IP \[bu] 2
+How it could be fixed
+.IP \[bu] 2
+How your proposed solution would look like
+.PP
+If your report is shorter than two lines, it is almost certainly missing
+some of these, which makes it hard for us to respond to it.
+We\[aq]re often too polite to close the issue outright, but the missing
+info makes misinterpretation likely.
+As a commiter myself, I often get frustrated by these issues, since the
+only possible way for me to move forward on them is to ask for
+clarification over and over.
+.PP
+For bug reports, this means that your report should contain the
+\f[I]complete\f[] output of youtube\-dl when called with the \-v flag.
+The error message you get for (most) bugs even says so, but you would
+not believe how many of our bug reports do not contain this information.
+.PP
+Site support requests \f[B]must contain an example URL\f[].
+An example URL is a URL you might want to download, like
+http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaW_jenozKc .
+There should be an obvious video present.
+Except under very special circumstances, the main page of a video
+service (e.g.
+http://www.youtube.com/ ) is \f[I]not\f[] an example URL.
+.SS Are you using the latest version?
+.PP
+Before reporting any issue, type youtube\-dl \-U.
+This should report that you\[aq]re up\-to\-date.
+About 20% of the reports we receive are already fixed, but people are
+using outdated versions.
+This goes for feature requests as well.
+.SS Is the issue already documented?
+.PP
+Make sure that someone has not already opened the issue you\[aq]re
+trying to open.
+Search at the top of the window or at
+https://github.com/rg3/youtube\-dl/search?type=Issues .
+If there is an issue, feel free to write something along the lines of
+"This affects me as well, with version 2015.01.01.
+Here is some more information on the issue: ...".
+While some issues may be old, a new post into them often spurs rapid
+activity.
+.SS Why are existing options not enough?
+.PP
+Before requesting a new feature, please have a quick peek at the list of
+supported
+options (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#synopsis).
+Many feature requests are for features that actually exist already!
+Please, absolutely do show off your work in the issue report and detail
+how the existing similar options do \f[I]not\f[] solve your problem.
+.SS Is there enough context in your bug report?
+.PP
+People want to solve problems, and often think they do us a favor by
+breaking down their larger problems (e.g.
+wanting to skip already downloaded files) to a specific request (e.g.
+requesting us to look whether the file exists before downloading the
+info page).
+However, what often happens is that they break down the problem into two
+steps: One simple, and one impossible (or extremely complicated one).
+.PP
+We are then presented with a very complicated request when the original
+problem could be solved far easier, e.g.
+by recording the downloaded video IDs in a separate file.
+To avoid this, you must include the greater context where it is
+non\-obvious.
+In particular, every feature request that does not consist of adding
+support for a new site should contain a use case scenario that explains
+in what situation the missing feature would be useful.
+.SS Does the issue involve one problem, and one problem only?
+.PP
+Some of our users seem to think there is a limit of issues they can or
+should open.
+There is no limit of issues they can or should open.
+While it may seem appealing to be able to dump all your issues into one
+ticket, that means that someone who solves one of your issues cannot
+mark the issue as closed.
+Typically, reporting a bunch of issues leads to the ticket lingering
+since nobody wants to attack that behemoth, until someone mercifully
+splits the issue into multiple ones.
+.PP
+In particular, every site support request issue should only pertain to
+services at one site (generally under a common domain, but always using
+the same backend technology).
+Do not request support for vimeo user videos, Whitehouse podcasts, and
+Google Plus pages in the same issue.
+Also, make sure that you don\[aq]t post bug reports alongside feature
+requests.
+As a rule of thumb, a feature request does not include outputs of
+youtube\-dl that are not immediately related to the feature at hand.
+Do not post reports of a network error alongside the request for a new
+video service.
+.SS Is anyone going to need the feature?
+.PP
+Only post features that you (or an incapicated friend you can personally
+talk to) require.
+Do not post features because they seem like a good idea.
+If they are really useful, they will be requested by someone who
+requires them.
+.SS Is your question about youtube\-dl?
+.PP
+It may sound strange, but some bug reports we receive are completely
+unrelated to youtube\-dl and relate to a different or even the
+reporter\[aq]s own application.
+Please make sure that you are actually using youtube\-dl.
+If you are using a UI for youtube\-dl, report the bug to the maintainer
+of the actual application providing the UI.
+On the other hand, if your UI for youtube\-dl fails in some way you
+believe is related to youtube\-dl, by all means, go ahead and report the
+bug.
