    <info><title>Issue Tracking</title></info>
    
    <para>Spring Security uses JIRA to manage bug reports and enhancement
        requests. If you find a bug, please log a report using JIRA. Do not
        log it on the support forum, mailing list or by emailing the project's
        developers. Such approaches are ad-hoc and we prefer to manage bugs
        using a more formal process.</para>
    
    <para>If possible, in your issue report please provide a JUnit test
        that demonstrates any incorrect behaviour. Or, better yet, provide a
        patch that corrects the issue. Similarly, enhancements are welcome to
        be logged in the issue tracker, although we only accept enhancement requests
        if you include corresponding unit tests. This is necessary to ensure
        project test coverage is adequately maintained.</para>
