+      <p>Bugzilla replaced GNATS in June 2014 as the bug
+	management tool of choice for &os;, granting GNATS its
+	well-deserved retirement after more than 20 years of operation.
+	The following months were rough for Bugzilla: a lot of
+	functionality was still missing and several uncertainties caused
+	users and committers to adapt only slowly to the new system.</p>
+
+      <p>Over the last six months, a lot of missing features were
+	brought into place to allow users and committers to focus on
+	getting bugs solved.  Categories, the status model and many
+	workflow-related knobs were continously reworked and improved to
+	provide the necessary information without getting in the
+	way.</p>
+
+      <p>An auto-assigner for ports issues was implemented,
+	resembling what GNATS' successfully did in the past.  A <a
+	  href="https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/page.cgi?id=dashboard.html">dashboard</a>
+	page within Bugzilla provides users and committers with common
+	queries and overall statistics; many other smaller tweaks,
+	configurations, and extensions were implemented to improve the
+	usability of the system.</p>
+
+      <p>An improved reporting system is currently being
+	implemented to provide graphs and statistics for users and
+	committers.  Handling MFCs and a better feedback mechanism for
+	requests (flags in Bugzilla) will be the next things to do.</p>
+
+      <p>Bugmeister is also working closely with the &os; GitHub
+	team to establish a workflow between GitHub's issue tracker and
+	our Bugzilla system.  The technical solution already exists as a
+	proof of concept, but its usage in production will have to wait
+	until Bugzilla 5.0 has been adopted.</p>
