+# Contributing
+
+Bug reports and patches are welcome. This is a personal open-source project maintained in spare
+time, written for the way a linen room actually works, so the most
+useful thing you can send is what went wrong in yours: what you were doing, what you expected, and
+what happened instead.
+
+## Reporting
+
+- **A bug or a question:** open an issue.
+- **A security problem:** report it privately through this repository's security advisories
+  instead. Please don't open a public issue for it, so it can be fixed before it is described in
+  public.
+
+## Sending a patch
+
+1. Open an issue first for anything beyond a small fix, so the approach can be agreed before you
+   spend an evening on it.
+2. Keep the change focused, and match the surrounding code — comments that explain *why*, plain
+   words on screen, no dependency added without a reason.
+3. Say how you tested it. There is no CI on this repository; a description of what you ran is what
+   a reviewer has to go on.
+
+## Sign your commits (DCO)
+
+Every commit needs a `Signed-off-by` line, which `git commit -s` adds for you:
+
+```
+Signed-off-by: Your Name <your.email@example.com>
+```
+
+That line means you agree to the [Developer Certificate of Origin 1.1](https://developercertificate.org/):
+that you wrote the patch, or have the right to submit it under this project's licence, and that
+you understand it will be public and kept in the record.
+
+It is a sign-off, not a copyright assignment — you keep the copyright in your work, and it is
+contributed under the project's licence (AGPL-3.0-only).
+
+## Licence
+
+Contributions are accepted under the [AGPL-3.0-only](LICENSE) licence that covers the project. The
+ThreadCount name and logo are not covered by it.
+
+Your patch stays under the AGPL, and you keep the copyright in it.
