+HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO OpenSSL
+----------------------------
+
+(Please visit https://www.openssl.org/community/getting-started.html for
+other ideas about how to contribute.)
+
+Development is done on GitHub, https://github.com/openssl/openssl.
+
+To request new features or report bugs, please open an issue on GitHub
+
+To submit a patch, please open a pull request on GitHub.  If you are thinking
+of making a large contribution, open an issue for it before starting work,
+to get comments from the community.  Someone may be already working on
+the same thing or there may be reasons why that feature isn't implemented.
+
+To make it easier to review and accept your pull request, please follow these
+guidelines:
+
+    1. Anything other than a trivial contribution requires a Contributor
+    License Agreement (CLA), giving us permission to use your code. See
+    https://www.openssl.org/policies/cla.html for details.  If your
+    contribution is too small to require a CLA, put "CLA: trivial" on a
+    line by itself in your commit message body.
+
+    2.  All source files should start with the following text (with
+    appropriate comment characters at the start of each line and the
+    year(s) updated):
+
+        Copyright 20xx-20yy The OpenSSL Project Authors. All Rights Reserved.
+
+        Licensed under the OpenSSL license (the "License").  You may not use
+        this file except in compliance with the License.  You can obtain a copy
+        in the file LICENSE in the source distribution or at
+        https://www.openssl.org/source/license.html
+
+    3.  Patches should be as current as possible; expect to have to rebase
+    often. We do not accept merge commits, you will have to remove them
+    (usually by rebasing) before it will be acceptable.
+
+    4.  Patches should follow our coding style (see
+    https://www.openssl.org/policies/codingstyle.html) and compile
+    without warnings. Where gcc or clang is available you should use the
+    --strict-warnings Configure option.  OpenSSL compiles on many varied
+    platforms: try to ensure you only use portable features.  Clean builds via
+    GitHub Actions and AppVeyor are required, and they are started automatically
+    whenever a PR is created or updated.
+
+    5.  When at all possible, patches should include tests. These can
+    either be added to an existing test, or completely new.  Please see
+    test/README for information on the test framework.
+
+    6.  New features or changed functionality must include
+    documentation. Please look at the "pod" files in doc/man[1357] for
+    examples of our style. Run "make doc-nits" to make sure that your
+    documentation changes are clean.
+
+    7.  For user visible changes (API changes, behaviour changes, ...),
+    consider adding a note in CHANGES.  This could be a summarising
+    description of the change, and could explain the grander details.
+    Have a look through existing entries for inspiration.
+    Please note that this is NOT simply a copy of git-log one-liners.
+    Also note that security fixes get an entry in CHANGES.
+    This file helps users get more in depth information of what comes
+    with a specific release without having to sift through the higher
+    noise ratio in git-log.
+
+    8.  For larger or more important user visible changes, as well as
+    security fixes, please add a line in NEWS.  On exception, it might be
+    worth adding a multi-line entry (such as the entry that announces all
+    the types that became opaque with OpenSSL 1.1.0).
+    This file helps users get a very quick summary of what comes with a
+    specific release, to see if an upgrade is worth the effort.
