If your bug is in the language, though, or the Core-supported packages, you should submit your report to R's [Bugzilla](https://bugs.r-project.org/).
**NOTE: due to abuse by spammers, since 2016-07-09 only "members" (including all who have previously submitted bugs) can submit new bugs on R's Bugzilla.
In order to get a bugzilla account (i.e., become "member"), please send an e-mail (from the address you want to use as your login) to
`[email protected]` briefly explaining why, and a volunteer will add you to R's Bugzilla members.**

It is important to try to make sure that the report isn't extraneous. The easiest way to do this is to first look at the [upcoming changes in R](https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/doc/NEWS.Rd), to see if the bug has already been patched (just not released yet),
and to [browse the latest bug reports](https://bugs.r-project.org/buglist.cgi?bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bugidtype=include&chfieldto=Now&cmdtype=doit&emailassigned_to1=1&emailassigned_to2=1&emailcc2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailtype1=substring&emailtype2=substring&field0-0-0=noop&long_desc_type=substring&order=bugs.delta_ts%20desc&query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&type0-0-0=noop)
or [search for the bug](https://bugs.r-project.org/query.cgi) in Bugzilla to see if (even if it hasn't been patched yet) it has been reported. If your bug has not yet been reported or fixed, you can report the bug following the guidelines in the section [Writing a good bug report](#writing-a-good-bug-report). If you have a patch accompanying your bug, see the section [How to submit patches](#how-to-submit-patches).
