-# Contribution guidelines
-
-Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the [collectd
-project](https://collectd.org/)! This document tries to give some guidance to
-make the process of contributing to *collectd* as pleasant and possible.
-
-## Bug reports
-
-Please report bugs as [GitHub
-Issues](https://github.com/collectd/collectd/issues). Try to answer the
-following questions:
-
-* Which version of *collectd* are you using?
-* Which operating system (distribution) are you using at which version?
-* What is the expected behavior / output?
-* What is the actual (observed) behavior / output?
-* How can we reproduce the problem you're having?
-* If *collectd* crashes, try to get a
- [stack trace](https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Core_file).
-
-Please monitor your issue for a couple of days and reply to questions. To keep
-the project manageable have to do some housekeeping, meaning we will close
-issues that have become stale.
-
-## Code contributions
-
-Please open a [GitHub Pull Request](https://github.com/collectd/collectd/pulls)
-(PR) to contribute bug fixes, features, cleanups, new plugins, … Patches sent to
-the mailing list have a tendency to fall through the cracks.
-
-* *Focus:* Fix *one thing* in your PR. The smaller your change, the faster it
- will be reviewed and merged.
-* *Coding style:* Please run `clang-format -style=file -i $FILE` on new files.
- For existing files, please blend into surrounding code, i.e. mimic the
- coding style of the code around your changes.
-* *Documentation:* New config options need to be documented in two places: the
- manpage (`src/collectd.conf.pod`) and the example config
- (`src/collectd.conf.in`).
-* *Continuous integration:* Once your PR is created, our continuous
- integration environment will try to build it on a number of platforms. If
- this reports a failure, please investigate and fix the problem. We will at
- best do a very casual review for failing PRs.
-* *Don't rebase:* Rebasing our branch destroys the review history. If a review
- takes a long time, we may ask you to rebase on a more recent *master*, but
- please don't do it without being asked.
-* *types.db:* One of the most common mistakes done by new contributors is the
- addition of (many) new *types* in the file `src/types.db`. The majority of
- usecases can be met with one of the existing entries. If you plan to add new
- entries to `src/types.db`, you should talk to us early in the design
- process.
