+Package Contributions
+=====================
+
+**Notice:** *This is an unofficial draft. Once this information is official, this notice will be removed.*
+
+Procedure
+---------
+If you would like to contribute a package to Qubes, please follow this procedure:
+
+ 1. Ensure that your package satisfies the [Inclusion Criteria].
+ 2. If your code isn't already on GitHub, create a GitHub repo that contains your code.
+ 3. If you haven't already, [sign your code][sig].
+ 4. Create an issue in [qubes-issues] with the title `[Contribution] your-package-name`.
+    Include a link to your repo, a brief description of your package, and a brief explanation of why you think it should be included in Qubes.
+ 5. You may be asked followup questions.
+    If we decide to accept your contribution, you will be invited to join the [QubesOS-contrib] organization on GitHub, and [QubesOS-contrib] will fork your repo.
+    If we decide not to accept your contribution, we will state the reason and close the issue.
+
+Inclusion Criteria
+------------------
+In order to be accepted, packages must:
+
+ * In no way weaken the security of Qubes OS.
+ * Be published under an open-source license.
+ * Follow our [coding guidelines].
+ * Be thoroughly tested.
+ * Have a clearly defined use case for Qubes users.
+ * Not be unduly burdensome to review.
+
+(Please note that we always reserve the right add criteria to this list.)
+
+Updates
+-------
+If you would like to update or patch an existing contributed package (i.e., code in a fork owned by [QubesOS-contrib]), whether it is your contribution or someone else's, please submit a [signed][sig], fast-forwarded pull request to that repo with your changes.
+Please note that your pull request **must** be both [signed][sig] and fast-forwarded, or else it will be closed without further review.
