What kind of bugs are you interested in?

The thing that I personally would like to see added is bracketed paste mode:

This is possible when you are using Ubuntu (or a derivative) because it has
a partial Greek translation made on Launchpad:
   https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/artful/+source/nano/+pots/nano

You could use that as a starting point, but only for strings that cannot be
translated in any other way.  For longer strings you may want to translate
them somewhat differently, to sidestep copyright issues.
