+Contributing
+============
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to Soledad!
+
+Filing bug reports
+------------------
+
+Bug reports are very welcome. Please file them on the `0xacab issue tracker
+<https://0xacab.org/leap/soledad/issues>`_. Please include an extensive
+description of the error, the steps to reproduce it, the version of Soledad
+used and the provider used (if applicable).
+
+Patches
+-------
+
+All patches to Soledad should be submitted in the form of pull requests to the
+`main Soledad repository <https://0xacab.org/leap/soledad>`_. These pull
+requests should satisfy the following properties:
+
+* The pull request should focus on one particular improvement to Soledad.
+ Create different pull requests for unrelated features or bugfixes.
+* Code should follow `PEP 8 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>`_,
+ especially in the "do what code around you does" sense.
+* Pull requests that introduce code must test all new behavior they introduce
+ as well as for previously untested or poorly tested behavior that they touch.
+* Pull requests are not allowed to break existing tests. We will consider pull
+ requests that are breaking the CI as work in progress.
+* When introducing new functionality, please remember to write documentation.
+* Please sign all of your commits. If you are merging code from other
+ contributors, you should sign their commits.
+
+Review
+~~~~~~
+
+Pull requests must be reviewed before merging. The final responsibility for the
+reviewing of merged code lies with the person merging it. Exceptions to this
+rule are modifications to documentation, packaging, or tests when the need of
+agility of merging without review has little or no impact on the security and
+functionality of working code.
+
+Getting help
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you need help you can reach us through one of the following means:
+
+* IRC: ``#leap`` at ``irc.freenode.org``.
+* Mailing list: `leap-discuss@lists.riseup.net <https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/leap-discuss>`_
