-=head2 Perlbug remote interface
+=head2 Perlbug administration
-There are three (3) remote administrative interfaces for modifying bug
-status, category, etc. In all cases an admin must be first registered
-with the Perlbug database by sending an email request to
-richard@perl.org or bugmongers@perl.org.
+There is a single remote administrative interface for modifying bug status,
+category, open issues etc. using the B<RT> I<bugtracker> system, maintained
+by I<Robert Spier>. Become an administrator, and close any bugs you can get
+your sticky mitts on:
-The main requirement is the willingness to classify, (with the
-emphasis on closing where possible :), outstanding bugs. Further
-explanation can be garnered from the web at http://bugs.perl.org/ , or
-by asking on the admin mailing list at: bugmongers@perl.org
+ http://rt.perl.org
-For more info on the web see
+The bugtracker mechanism for B<perl5> bugs in particular is at:
- http://bugs.perl.org/perlbug.cgi?req=spec
