-# Setup
+# Contributing
+We love to get patches for dak. Enhancements, bugfixes,
+make-code-nicer/easier, anything.
+
+## Merge requests
+With dak being available at the [Salsa Service](https://salsa.debian.org), we
+now prefer receiving merge requests there. They allow simple reviews
+using the webinterface and also allow discussing (parts of) the code
+within the Salsa UI. They also allow much easier tracking the state of
+different requests than a mail on a list ever allows.
+
+To create merge requests that, simply go to [the Salsa project
+page](https://salsa.debian.org/ftp-team/dak), select **Fork** followed
+by the namespace you want to put it in (usually your private one).
+Then simply clone this fork and work it in, preferably in a branch
+named after whatever-you-are-doing.
+
+When you are happy with what you coded, use the UI on Salsa to create
+a merge request from your feature branch, either using the web
+interface or by using e-mail, see the [Gitlab MR
+documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/merge_requests/)
+for details on this process.
+
+
+### Alternative to using Salsa
+While we do prefer merge requests as described above, we also accept
+patches send by mail to our mailing list, see above for details on
+the list.
+
+# Setup dak
You can find more info about setting dak up inside the [setup](setup)
