I'm still planning to stand up debbugs, but as I said earlier on in the
thread, it's lower priority than the current work around getting beta
out the door (and, generally, 9.5 into good shape). I've been following
the thread and don't see any reason to stray from that plan.

Once it's up, I'll provide information about how it gets populated, how
to interact with it, etc. Based on the responses on this thread, it
looks like we've got quite a few people who are willing to help manage
it, once it's up and running. I'll also be involved (either directly or
by bringing in other resources) in the ongoing curation and management.

Thanks!
