 ## Contributing
 
-If you want to contribute to the project, you need to [sign Google CLA](https://cla.developers.google.com/) and add yourself to [AUTHORS](AUTHORS)/[CONTRIBUTORS](CONTRIBUTORS) files in the first pull request. Extending/improving [system call descriptions](sys/sys.txt) is always a good idea. If you want to work on something non-trivial, please briefly describe it on [syzkaller@googlegroups.com](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/syzkaller) mailing list first so that there is agreement on high level approach and no duplication of work between contributors.
+If you want to contribute to the project, feel free to send a pull request.

+- Prepend each commit with a `package:` prefix, where `package` is the package/tool this commit changes (look at examples in the [commit history](https://github.com/google/syzkaller/commits/master))
+- Rebase your pull request onto the master branch before submitting
+- If you're asked to add some fixes to your pull requested, please squash them into the commit being fixed
