When you encounter a bug, first try to reproduce it with as simple of a system
as possible. Double-check with Kwant documentation that what you observe is
actually a bug in Kwant. Then please email the bug report the Kwant `mailing
list <mailto:kwant-discuss@kwant-project.org>`_. A bug report should contain
the steps required to reproduce the bug, preferably with a simple script that
reproduces the bug attached. It should also include a description of the bug
(i.e. what exactly goes wrong).
