-Reporting a bug or submitting a patch
--------------------------------------
-
-The development of Matplotlib is organized through `github
-<https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib>`_.  If you would like
-to report a bug or submit a patch please use that interface.
-
-To report a bug `create an issue
-<https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/new>`_ on github
-(this requires having a github account).  Please include a `Short,
-Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example <http://sscce.org>`_
-demonstrating what the bug is.  Including a clear, easy to test
-example makes it easy for the developers to evaluate the bug.  Expect
-that the bug reports will be a conversation.  If you do not want to
-register with github, please email bug reports to the `mailing list
-<matplotlib-devel@python.org>`_.
-
-The easiest way to submit patches to Matplotlib is through pull
-requests on github.  Please see the :ref:`developers-guide-index` for
-the details.
