Then follow the prompts.. you will end up with an email message buffer. If
your emacs is set up to send emails, just send that email after adding
additional information about the bug.
Else. copy the body of that email, paste it in your email client (like
Gmail, Google Inbox, etc), also copy the auto-generated subject like:
Bug: My bug [9.1.3 (release_9.1.3-203-g33d554 @
/home/kmodi/usr_local/apps/6/emacs/emacs-26/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/)]
, and send that email to emacs-orgmode@gnu.org.
Include a MWE (minimum working example) in your bug report on how to
recreate that issue in an emacs -Q session loaded with that specific Org
version.
and are the bugs

That's generated using the above method.

Those are the Org related bugs sent by users using M-x report-emacs-bug.
/Those/ get tracked, auto-assigned with a number and you can see those at
http://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gnu-emacs/.

As a user, and frequent observer of this list, the first method is
preferred and gets dealt with in a speedy manner. Because not everyone
following the official emacs bug list use Org. Occassionally though,
someone would be kind enough to forward Org-related bugs from that list to
this list.
Where are the numbered bugs coming from?

Not that I know of. This seems to be an unofficial place to list those,
and doesn't look updated.

If I recall correctly, org-mode uses GNU's Debbugs, see
<https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=org-mode>.
Reports are sent to <bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>.
The report-emacs-bug procedure already sets almost everything for you,
including the address mentioned above.
I hope this helps. ;)

Dear all,
reflecting upon Allen's question and Kaushal's answer, I would like
to suggest this rule on how to submit bug reports:
Use M-x org-submit-bug-report RET if you installed Org yourself,
use M-x report-emacs-bug RET otherwise.
This way, Org maintainers who check Emacs bugs are likely to quickly
spot if the bug from an old Org version has been fixed already, and
users are less likely to share already-fixed bugs on emacs-orgmode.
WDYT?
