+
+## Reporting Bugs
+
+If you would like to report a bug, please take a look at [our Redmine
+issue
+tracker](https://dev.metasploit.com/redmine/projects/framework/issues?query_id=420)
+-- your bug may already have been reported there! Simply [searching](https://dev.metasploit.com/redmine/projects/framework/search) for some appropriate keywords may save everyone a lot of hassle.
+
+If your bug is new and you'd like to report it you will need to
+[register
+first](https://dev.metasploit.com/redmine/account/register). Don't
+worry, it's easy and fun and takes about 30 seconds.
+
+## Contributing Metasploit Modules
+
+If you have an exploit that you'd like to contribute to the Metasploit
+Framework, please familiarize yourself with the
+[HACKING](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/master/HACKING)
+document in the
+Metasploit-Framework repository. There are many mysteries revealed in
+HACKING concerning code style and content.
+
+[Pull requests](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pulls)
+should corellate with modules at a 1:1 ratio
+-- there is rarely a good reason to have two, three, or ten modules on
+one pull request, as this dramatically increases the review time
+required to land (commit) any of those modules.
+
+Pull requests tend to be very collaborative for Metasploit -- do not be
+surprised if your pull request to rapid7/metasploit-framework triggers a
+pull request back to your own fork. In this way, we can isolate working
+changes before landing your PR to the Metasploit master branch.
