+Contributing
+============
+
+OpenMPT, libopenmpt, openmpt123, xmp-openmpt and in_openmpt are developed in
+the Subversion repository at
+[https://source.openmpt.org/browse/openmpt/trunk/OpenMPT/](https://source.openmpt.org/browse/openmpt/trunk/OpenMPT/).
+Patches can be provided either against this Subversion repository or against our
+GitHub mirror at
+[https://github.com/OpenMPT/openmpt/](https://github.com/OpenMPT/openmpt/).
+
+We do not have a developer mailing list. Discussions about new features or
+problems can happen at:
+ *  [Issue Tracker](https://bugs.openmpt.org/), preferred for specific bug
+    reports or bug fixes and feature development discussion
+ *  [Forum](https://forum.openmpt.org/), preferred for long-term discussion of
+    new features or specific questions about development
+ *  [IRC channel (`EsperNET/#modplug`)](irc://irc.esper.net:5555/#modplug),
+    preferred for shorter questions
+ *  [GitHub pull requests](https://github.com/OpenMPT/openmpt/pulls), please
+    only use for rather tiny fixes, see below
+
+For patch submissions, please also see
+[OpenMPT style guide](openmpt_styleguide.md) and
+[libopenmpt style guide](libopenmpt_styleguide.md).
+
+### Contributing via GitHub
+
+As OpenMPT is developed in a Subversion repository and the GitHub repository is
+just mirrored from that, we cannot directly take pull requests via GitHub. We
+recognize that, especially for tiny bug fixes, the burden to choose a different
+way than GitHub for contributing can be too high. Thus, we will of course react,
+give feedback, and take patches also via GitHub pull requests. However, as the
+GitHub repository is strictly downstream from our Subversion repository (and
+this will not change, due to considerable complications when synchronizing this
+two-way), we cannot directly merge pull requests on GitHub. We will merge
+contributions to our Subversion repository, which will then in turn be mirrored
+to GitHub automatically, after which we will close the pull request. Authorship
+attribution in git relies on the email address used in the commit header, which
+is not how it usually works in Subversion. We will thus add an additional line
+to the commit message in the form of `Patch-by: John Doe <user@example.com>`. If
+you prefer to be attributed with your nickname and/or without your email
+address, that would also be fine for us.
