+Following Niko Matsakis' announcement of the [**LLVM ICE-breaker
+group**](https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2019/10/22/LLVM-ICE-breakers.html),
+I'm pleased to announce the **Cleanup Crew ICE-breaker group**. It
+follows the same principle, if you know Rust and would like to
+contribute to rustc -- but without knowing about the compiler or taking
+on a large commitment -- then the Cleanup Crew ICE-breaker group might
+well be for you!
+
+### What is the Cleanup Crew ICE-breaker group?
+
+The "Cleanup Crew" are focused on improving bug reports. Specifically,
+the goal is to try to ensure that every bug report has all the
+information that will be needed for someone to fix it:
+
+    - a minimal, standalone example that shows the problem
+    - links to duplicates or related bugs
+    - if the bug is a regression (something that used to work, but no
+      longer does), then a bisection to the PR or nightly that caused
+      the regression
+
+This kind of cleanup is invaluable in getting bugs fixed.
+
+### Who should join?
+
+It can be done by anybody who knows Rust, without any particularly deep
+knowledge of the compiler.  If you want to be part of it and be notified
+about things to do, just add yourself to the list ([instructions here])! When we come across a suitable
+bug, we'll write a message that `@`-mentions every Github user on that
+team. If you have some time, maybe you can provide some useful
+information.
