-Thanks for considering contributing to LaTeX2e: feedback, fixes and
-ideas are all useful. Here, we ([The LaTeX3
-Project](https://www.latex-project.org)) have collected together a few
-pointers to help things along.
-
-## Bugs
-
-There are thousands of packages and tools and the LaTeX Project Team
-only supports a few dozen core packages beside the kernel code. We
-also don't maintain any tools or the TeX-engines themselves! So if a
-bug is due to code from a contributed third-party package then the LaTeX
-Project Team is not able to help or fix the code as that is maintained
-by others. As such, we ask you follow the procedure below as it will
-help to weed cases where we cannot help.
-
-To report a bug it is important to provide a short test file that
-exhibits the issue. The [`latexbug`](https://github.com/latex3/latexbug)
-package should be loaded at the very top of any such test file used to
-report a bug in LaTeX as follows:
-
-```latex
-\RequirePackage{latexbug} % <- first line
-\documentclass{article} % or some other class
-... % code showing the problem
-```
-
-If the `latexbug` package is not part of your distribution you can
-download it
-[GitHub](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/latex3/latexbug/master/latexbug.sty).
-In that case simply place it in the directory next to your test file (or
-place it into your local `texmf` tree so that it will be always found –
-how to do that depends on the installation you use).
-
-If `latexbug` complains about third-party packages you should first
-remove those from your test file. If that is not possible, then the
-bug is most likely in one of these packages and you should report the
-problem to the maintainers of the package instead of opening an issue
-here. However, if you think the bug is in core LaTeX (as maintained
-by the LaTeX Team) even though you need the third-party packages to
-demonstrate the problem, then please continue and send the bug report
-to us but explain this explicitly in your description of the bug.
-

-## Font related issues
-
-Problems that are clearly due to using a specific font setup or a
-specific font are normally out of scope as we do not maintain fonts
-for LaTeX and can't help with problems in that area. Especially with
-XeTeX and LuaTeX people may experience issues due to font usage that
-are either due to the font itself or to different versions or
-treatment on different platforms. So please use Computer Modern or
-Latin Modern fonts in the test files.

-
-## Layout and interface deficiencies
-
-Upfront we should probably stress that 'deficiencies' in the design of
-of the standard document classes (`article`, `report` and `book`) as
-well a questionable but long established interface behavior of commands
-is something that we will normally not change, even if we can all agree
-that a different behavior or a different layout would have been a better
-choice. You are, of course, welcome to report issues in these areas,
-using the procedure explained below, but in all likelihood such reports
-will be marked as 'won't fix'.
-
-The reason is is that the kernel interfaces and the document classes
-have been used for many years in essentially all documents (even
-documents using different classes often build them upon the standard
-classes in the background) and thus such changes would break or as a
-minimum noticeably change nearly all existing documents. See also the
-file [LaTeX2e News Issue
-07](https://www.latex-project.org/news/latex2e-news/ltnews07.pdf) with
-regard to this policy.

-## Code contributions
-
-If you want to discuss a possible contribution before (or instead of)
-making a pull request, drop a line to
-[the team](mailto:latex-team@latex-project.org).
-
-The stability of LaTeX is very important and this means that change in
-the kernel is necessarily very conservative. It also means that a lot of
-discussion happens before any changes are made. If you do decide to post
-a pull request, please bear this in mind: we do appreciate ideas, but
-cannot always integrate them into the kernel.
-
-If you are submitting a pull request, notice that
-
-- The first line of commit messages should be a short summary (up to about
- 50 chars); leave a blank line then give more detail if required
-- We use Travis-CI for (light) testing so add `[ci skip]` to documentation-only
- commit messages
-- We favour a single linear history so will rebase accepted pull requests
-- Where a commit fixes or closes an issue, please include this information
- in the first line of the commit message [`(fixes #X)` or similar]
