+ # Contributing to Vim
+ 
+ Patches are welcome in whatever form.
+ Discussions about patches happen on the vim-dev maillist.
+ If you create a pull request on GitHub it will be
+ forwarded to the vim-dev maillist.  You can also send your patch there
+ directly.  An attachment with a unified diff format is preferred.
+ Information about the maillist can be found [on the Vim website].
+ 
+ [on the Vim website]: http://www.vim.org/maillist.php#vim-dev
+ 
+ Please consider adding a test.  Test coverage isn't very good yet, this needs
+ to improve.  Look through recent patches for examples.  The tests are located
+ under "src/testdir".
+ 
+ 
+ # Reporting issues
+ 
+ We use GitHub issues, but that is not a requirement.  Writing to the Vim
+ maillist is also fine.
+ 
+ Please use the GitHub issues only for actual issues. If you are not 100% sure
+ that your problem is a Vim issue, please first discuss this on the Vim user
+ maillist.  Try reproducing the problem without any plugins or settings:
+ 
+     vim -N -u NONE
+ 
+ If you report an issue, please describe exactly how to reproduce it.
+ For example, don't say "insert some text" but say what you did exactly:
+ "ahere is some text<Esc>".  Ideally, the steps you list can be used to write a
+ test to verify the problem is fixed.
+ 
+ Feel free to report even the smallest problem, also typos in the documentation.
+ 
+ You can find known issues in the todo file: ":help todo".
+ Or open [the todo file] on GitHub to see the latest version.
+
