Following the #820, here is a first draft for this page.
Thanks to proofread, review, complete it...

About Joomla! Issue Tracker

What is it for?

The Joomla! Issue Tracker is an official Joomla! website focused on reporting Joomla! bugs, testing patches, submitting patched and/or sumitting new features.
Four projects are currently hosted and maintened here:

  • Joomla! CMS
  • J!Tracker
  • Patch Tester
  • Weblinks
    We are always looking for more people to test patches, find and fix bugs, and help clarify issue reports on our bug tracker. Do not hesitate to join us.

How is the Issue Tracker powered?

Joomla! Issue Tracker is powered thanks to the Joomla! Framework, a free and open source PHP framework which allows to build powerful web applications by writing web and command line applications in PHP, without the features and corresponding overhead found in the Joomla! Content Management System (CMS).

Who is behind issues.joomla.org?

The Issue Tracker website is the result of the hard work of Nikolai Plath, Michael Babker and Dmitry Rekun. In addition to these 3 majors contributors, 24 other members are contributing to this website. You can see the full list here.

Back on...

Until the end of 2014, Joomla! was using JoomlaCode.org as a resource for developers to build and manage Open Source software projects centred around Joomla. In 2012 (?), Joomla! Project started to use GitHub and, in parallel, it has been decided to build Joomla's own inbuilt bug tracker, using the Joomla! Framework.
Issues.joomla.org has been launched in Sept 2012 and keeps on growing since then.
What's new on issues.joomla.org?
The Joomla! Issue Tracker is constantly improved and is now multilingual. Translations are done via our translation tool Crowdin and merged (nearly) automatically here.
New projects will be also added to this website:

How is the Issue Tracker powered?

You should definitely include GitHub here. (something like this?)
