** Description changed:
+ [ Impact ]
+
+ * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users and justification

+
+ * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an
+ explanation of how the upload fixes this bug.
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug
+
+ * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected
+ package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package
+ fixes the problem.
+
+ * if other testing is appropriate to perform before landing this
+ update, this should also be described here.
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ * Think about what the upload changes in the software. Imagine the
+ change is wrong or breaks something else: how would this show up?
+
+ * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before
+ upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important
+ to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the event
+ of a regression.
+
+ * This must never be "None" or "Low", or entirely an argument as to why
+ your upload is low risk.
+
+ * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
+ and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.
+
+ [ Other Info ]
+
+ * Anything else you think is useful to include
+
+ * Make sure to explain any deviation from the norm, to save the SRU
+ reviewer from having to infer your reasoning, possibly incorrectly.
+ This should also help reduce review iterations, particularly when the
+ reason for the deviation is not obvious.
+
+ * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams
+ and the Technical Board and address these questions in advance
