The Bugmeister team is responsible for ensuring that the Problem Report software is in working order, entries are correctly categorised, and that there are no invalid entries.

We are ending the quarter with 9548 open PRs, creeping slightly upwards in every category from this time last year.
We spent most of our time this quarter greeting new contributors before providing them with an account.
We think this is going very nicely and has provided an increase in engagement and submission quality, but we do think we could use a few more people on the team.

We welcomed a new member of the Triage Team, Simon Wollwage, who has been lovingly going through the database, rebasing patches, and being kind to contributors.
Many reports have been closed or had their underlying issues fixed from his efforts, and we thank him.

We finished updating documentation to request that proposed changes are sent as git format patches.
This will save time, increase security, and properly convey author metadata.
If we missed a spot, please let us know.
