Ansible practices responsible disclosure - for security-related bugs, email `security@ansible.com <mailto:security@ansible.com>`_ to receive a prompt response. Do not submit a ticket or post to any public groups.
Before reporting a bug, search in GitHub for `already reported issues <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues>`_ and `open pull requests <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pulls>`_ to see if someone has already addressed your issue. Unsure if you found a bug? Report the behavior on the :ref:`mailing list or community chat first <communication>`.
If you find a bug, open an issue using the `issue template <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=bug_report.yml>`_.
Fill out the issue template as completely and as accurately as possible. Include:
* the expected behavior and what you've tried (including the exact commands you were using or tasks you are running)
* the current behavior and why you think it is a bug
* the steps to reproduce the bug
* a minimal reproducible example and comments describing examples
* any relevant configurations and the components you used
* any relevant output plus ``ansible -vvvv`` (debugging) output
Make sure to preserve formatting using `code blocks <https://help.github.com/articles/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks/>`_ when sharing YAML in playbooks. For multiple-file content, use gist.github.com, which is more durable than pastebin content.
Before you request a feature, check what is :ref:`planned for future Ansible Releases <roadmaps>`. Check `existing pull requests tagged with feature <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Afeature>`_.
To get your feature into Ansible, :ref:`submit a pull request <community_pull_requests>`, either against ansible-core or a collection. See also :ref:`ansible_collection_merge_requirements`. For ``ansible-core``, you can also open an issue in `ansible/ansible <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues>`_ or in a corresponding collection repository (To find the correct issue tracker, refer to :ref:`Bugs in collections<reporting_bugs_in_collections>` ).
