+# Patch submission
+
+The development of MCUboot takes place in the [MCUboot GitHub
+repository](https://github.com/mcu-tools/mcuboot).
+
+To submit patches, use GitHub pull requests.
+
+Each commit has to have, in the commit message, a "Signed-off-by" line
+that mentions the author (and the committer, if that is different). You
+must add this line at the end of the commit text, separated by a blank
+line. You can also add a line linking the commit to a specific GitHub
+issue, as this section supports multiple lines, similarly to RFC-2822.
+
+The supported trailer lines are structured as follows:
+
+- A line that indicates that the signer agrees to the "Developer
+Certificate of Origin" located at the bottom of this page:
+
+  ```
+      Signed-off-by: Developer Name <devname@example.com>
+  ```
+
+- A line that links this commit to specific GitHub issues, if present:
+
+  ```
+  Keyword #GH_issue_number
+  ```
+
+  For more details about linking a GitHub pull request to a GitHub issue,
+  see this [link]
+  (https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue).
+
+## Release notes
+
+To facilitate creating release notes at release time, all non-trivial
+changes must include a release note snippet in the pull request.
+This can be either a separate commit, or as part of a single commit
+(generally, if there are multiple commits to the pull request, the
+release note snippet should be a separate commit, and a pull request
+that is a single commit can include the release note snippet in that
+commit).  In either case, the release notes must be included in the
+same PR that makes the given change.
+
+The release notes should be placed in the `docs/release-notes.d`
+directory. Please see the readme file in that directory for specifics.
