+For the general process of submitting patches to Ceph, read the below
+
+`Submitting Patches`_
+
+For documentation patches the following guide will help you get started
+
+`Documenting Ceph`_
+
+Performance enhancements must come with test data and detailed
+explanations.
+
+Code cleanup is appreciated, as are patches that fix bugs or
+implement features. Except on rare occasions, code cleanup that only
+relates to coding style or modifies whitespace is discouraged,
+primarily because it can cause problems when rebasing and backporting.
