+# Feature Requests
+[Feature Requests]: #feature-requests
+
+The `uuid` crate is still in flux. All features desired may not be present. As
+such you are welcome to request for new features. Keep in mind that `uuid` is
+a general purpose library. We want to provide features that most users would
+find useful. As such not every feature may be accepted.
+
+If you have the chance, please [search existing issues], as there is a chance
+that someone has already requested your feature.
+
+File your feature request with a descriptive title, as this helps others find
+your request.
+
+You can request your feature by following [this link][Feature Request Link] and
+filling it in.
+
+> We welcome pull requests for your own feature requests, provided they have
+been discussed.

+
+# Bug Reports
+[Bug Reports]: #bug-reports
+
+While no one likes bugs, they are an unfortunate reality in software. Remember
+we can't fix bugs we don't know about, so don't be shy about reporting.
+
+If you have the chance, please [search existing issues], as there is a chance
+that someone has already reported your error. This isn't strictly needed, as
+sometimes you might not what exactly you are looking for.
+
+File your issue with a descriptive title, as this helps others find your issue.
+
+Reporting a bug is as easy as following [this link][Bug Report Link] and
+filling it in.
+
+Sometimes a backtrace may be needed. In that case, set `RUST_BACKTRACE`
+environment variable to `1`. For example:
+
+```bash
+$ RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo build
+```
+
+> We welcome pull requests for your own bug reports, provided they have been
+discussed.

+
+# Pull Requests
+[Pull Requests]: #pull-requests
+
+Pull requests(PRs) are the primary mechanism we use to change Uuid. GitHub itself
+has some [great documentation] on using the Pull Request feature. We use the
+"fork and pull" model described [here][fnp], where contributors push changes to
+their personal fork and create pull requests to bring those changes into the
+source repository.
+
+Unless the changes are fairly minor (like documentation changes or tiny
+patches), we require PRs to relevant issues.
+
+Please open PRs against branch:
+* `master` when making non-breaking changes
+* `breaking` when your changes alter the public API in a breaking manner
+
+If the pull request is still a work in progress, prepend`[WIP] ` in your
+title. `WIP bot` will make sure that the PR doesn't accidentally get merged.
+
+> Uuid Project has a minimum rust version policy. Currently `uuid` should
+compile with atleast `1.22.0`, and is enforced on our CI builds.
+
+When you feel that the PR is ready, please ping one of the maintainers so
+they can review your changes.

+
+# Writing Documentation
+[Writing Documentation]: #writing-documentation
+
+Documentation is an important part of Uuid. Lackluster or incorrect
+documentation can cause headaches for the users of `uuid`. Therefore,
+improvements to documentation are always welcome.
+
+We follow the documentation style guidelines as given by [RFC 1574].
+
+[RFC 1574]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1574-more-api-documentation-conventions.md#appendix-a-full-conventions-text
+
+# Issue Triage
+[Issue Triage]: #issue-triage
+
+Sometimes, an issue might stay open even after the relevant bug has been fixed.
+Other times, the bug report may become invalid. Or we may just forget about the
+bug.
+
+You can help to go through old bug reports and check if they are still valid.
+You can follow [this link][lrus] to look for issues like this.
