+# Contributing to Yasnippet
+
+## Copyright Assignment
+
+Yasnippet is part of GNU ELPA, so it falls under the same copyright
+assignment policy as the rest of Emacs (see "Copyright Assignment" in
+https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/CONTRIBUTE). A copyright assignment
+for Emacs also covers Yasnippet.
+
+## Commit message format
+
+The commit message format roughly follows Emacs conventions, although
+there is no separate Changelog file.
+
+ The commit message's first sentence should be capitalized, no period
+
+ It may be followed by a paragraph with a longer explanation. The
+ changelog style entry goes at the end of the message.
+
+ * foo.el (a-function): Terse summary of per-function changes.
