+## Adding new lints
+
+Please file a [lint proposal] issue to suggest that an existing lint rule should
+be added to this package. The benefits and risks of adding a lint should be
+discussed on that issue with all stakeholders involved. The suggestions will be
+reviewed periodically (typically once a year). Following a review, the package
+will be updated with all lints that made the cut.
+
+Adding a lint to the package may create new warnings for existing users and is
+therefore considered to be a breaking change, which will require a major version
+bump. To keep churn low, lints are not added one-by-one, but in one batch
+following a review of all accumulated suggestions since the previous review.
