Not sure what you mean by that. When someone decides they want to work on a bug, they just do it: reproduce it on their system, use the debugger, ask the OP questions if needed, discuss their findings on the mailing list with other developers, etc. Once the bug is identified and fixed, the bug report is closed by sending an email to special address @debbugs.gnu.org; if it is decided not to fix the bug, the bug is tagged accordingly by sending a similar message. The last part is the only thing I could call "bug handling process", and this _is_ documented in admin/notes/bugtracker. All the rest is just investigation and debugging. Does that answer your question?
