Descrizione

Please describe the question or issue you're facing with "How to report a bug - Ubuntu project documentation".

I realize this page is still a work in progress, however:

Large parts of it read like a developer wrote it because they were not happy about the way bugs are reported. I would like to suggest a friendlier, beginner oriented version would likely be more effective.

Filing a bug against a package not provided by the default, supported Ubuntu repositories: This is due to how it wasn’t confirmed by Ubuntu Developers for your release. Problems that unsupported software have caused are upgrade issues, and the program or operating system not functioning correctly. Typically, what isn’t supported is software from a PPA (Personal Package Archive), 3rd party packages, self-compiled software, etc. For more on supported Ubuntu repositories, please see [here](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories). If you are using unsupported software, it is best to contact the maintainers directly. Instructions are generally available on the program maintainer’s web site.

This section is awkward and should be revised.

I would also like to suggest some kind of workflow diagram or mermaid chart showing the steps to report bugs, where, how etc.

Appears some sections of the original page are missing or not yet added?

Really appreciate all the hard work being put in.

Many thanks.
