 # Nominatim contribution guidelines
 
-## Workflow
+## Reporting Bugs
 
-We operate the "Fork & Pull" model explained at
+Bugs can be reported at https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/issues.
+Please always open a separate issue for each problem. In particular, do
+not add your bugs to closed issues. They may looks similar to you but
+often are completely different from the maintainer's point of view.
+
+## Workflow for Pull Requests
+
+We love to get pull requests from you. We operate the "Fork & Pull" model
+explained at
 
 https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests
 
 You should fork the project into your own repo, create a topic branch
 there and then make one or more pull requests back to the openstreetmap repository.
-Your pull requests will then be reviewed and discussed.
+Your pull requests will then be reviewed and discussed. Please be aware
+that you are responsible for your pull requests. You should be prepared
+to get change requests because as the maintainers we have to make sure
+that your contribution fits well with the rest of the code. Please make
+sure that you have time to react to these comments and amend the code or
+engage in a conversion. Do not expect that others will pick up your code,
+it will almost never happen.
+
+Please open a separate pull request for each issue you want to address.
+Don't mix multiple changes. In particular, don't mix style cleanups with
+feature pull requests. If you plan to make larger changes, please open
+an issue first or comment on the appropriate issue already existing so
+that duplicate work can be avoided.
