+### Do not attempt to re-use bugs
+
+- As LibreSOC uses the bugtracker system for task management and grant/budget
+allocation, it is critical not to change the purpose of a previously created
+bug. If a duplicate bug has been created, mark as `DUPLICATE` (see the
+procedure section further down on this page on additional types of bugs
+which would not be worked on).
+- All comments cannot be removed (with the exception of having no comments
+other than the initial description, *and* no link/references to other bugs).
+- The bug may also be referenced externally, and thus re-use is not permitted.
