+# Life of a bug
+
+## New bugs
+
+New crashes with security implications are automatically filed into our [bug
+tracker](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list). These issues are not
+viewable by the public, but library developers can be automatically CC'ed on
+these issues, granting access.
+
+These bugs contain a link to a ClusterFuzz report, which contains crash details
+along with a testcase that can be downloaded. This can only be accessed by
+people who are CC'ed on the bug (requires a Google account).
+
+## Fixing
+
+Once the bug is fixed, our fuzzing infrastructure (ClusterFuzz) automatically
+verifies the fix, adding a comment and closing the bug.
+
+## Disclosure deadlines.
+
+TBD. Bugs will be automatically derestricted after a certain time once they're
+made available to the library developers, or when they're fixed.
