+@chapter Minor Mode
+
+Emacs uses @file{bug-reference.el} for adding hyperlinks to bugs in
+files like @file{ChangeLog}, or in commentary sections of other files.
+The reference to such bugs have a specialized format,
+@uref{Bug#12345}. The hyperlinks are implemented as minor modes
+@code{bug-reference-mode} and @code{bug-reference-prog-mode}.
+
+@findex debbugs-browse-mode
+@vindex debbugs-browse-function
+This package adds a new minor mode @code{debbugs-browse-mode} on top
+of them. Instead of using the default built-in Emacs browser for a
+given bug reference, it opens a corresponding bug report buffer. The
+customer option @code{debbugs-browse-function} controls, whether
+@code{debbugs-gnu-bugs} or @code{debbugs-org-bugs} is called.
+
+This minor mode is applicable for all URLs, not only bug references.
+Any URL with the format @uref{http://debbugs.gnu.org/12345} will be
+shown in a bug report buffer, when @code{debbugs-browse-mode} is
+enabled.
