+## Guidelines for submitting patches
+
+Please submit any patches against meta-intel BSPs to the
+[meta-intel mailing list](https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/meta-intel)
+(email: meta-intel@lists.yoctoproject.org). Also, if your patches are
+available via a public git repository, please also include a URL to
+the repo and branch containing your patches as that makes it easier
+for maintainers to grab and test your patches.
+
+The patches should follow the suggestions outlined in the
+[Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded Contributor Guide](https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/contributor-guide/index.html).
+In addition, for any non-trivial patch, provide information about how you
+tested the patch, and for any non-trivial or non-obvious testing
+setup, provide details of that setup.
+
+Doing a quick 'git log' in meta-intel will provide you with many
+examples of good example commits if you have questions about any
+aspect of the preferred format.
+
+The meta-intel maintainers will do their best to review and/or pull in
+a patch or patch sets within 24 hours of the time it was posted.  For
+larger and/or more involved patches and patch sets, the review process
+may take longer.
+
+Please see the [maintainers](../README.md#maintainers) section for the list of maintainers. It's also
+a good idea to cc: the maintainer, if applicable.
