     It is recommended to send the patches using a PGP/MIME signed
     mail.
 
+** Sending patches
+
+   - submitting patches, and subsequent discussions around them,
+     happens via the gnupg-devel at gnupg.org public mailing list
+
+   - send your patches to that list, preferably PGP/MIME signed. Make
+     sure to include a mention of 'gpgme' in the subject line,
+     the list is used for several different projects
+
+   - if you're working from the git repo, here's a suggested workflow:
+
+     - configure git send-email defaults:
+
+        git config format.subjectPrefix 'PATCH gpgme'
+        git config sendemail.to gnupg-devel at gnupg.org
+
+     - hack hack hack
+
+     - commit your changes; group changes into easily-reviewable commit
+       units, feel free to submit several patches at once
+
+     - e.g. if you want to submit a single patch on top of master, do:
+       git send-email --annotate -1
+
+     - e.g. if you have two commits on top of master, do:
+       git send-email --annotate --cover-letter -2
+       (that prompts you for a summary mail to precede your actual
+       patch mails)
+
+     - use --dry-run to test your setup
