+All pull requests must go through a review process before being accepted.
+Depending on the scope of the changes, it may take some time for a maintainer
+responsible for the modified part of the engine to provide their review.
+We value all of our contributors and ask them to be patient in the meantime,
+as it is expected that in an open source project like Godot, there is going to be
+way more contributions than people validating them.
+
+To make sure that your time and efforts aren't wasted, it is recommended to vet the idea
+first before implementing it and putting it for a review as a PR. To that end, Godot
+has a `proposal system <https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals>`_. Its
+usage is encouraged to plan changes and discuss them with the community. Implementation
+details can also be discussed with other contributors on the `Godot Contributors Chat <https://chat.godotengine.org/>`_.
+
+.. note:: Proposals are only required when working on an enhancement or a new feature.
+          Bug reports are sufficient for fixing issues.
