+# Rules for managing Pull Requests
+
+For the sake of trying to maintain an acceptable number of open but idle PRs, the following rules should be considered:
+- If a PR has at least one approval, it can be merged after 1 week of waiting for additional comments.
+  - If the change has at least 3 approvals or you consider it trivial enough, it may be merged right away.
+- If a PR stays in "changes requested" for too long, and there is no indication from the author that they are working on it, it shall be closed.
+  - Rule of thumb: 2 weeks for a small PR. Can be longer if the PR is large.
+  - The PR can be reopened at any point, if you have additional comments, or new changes have been done.
+- If you require a review from a particular person, assign the PR to that person. Don't just rely on the "review requested" feature of GitHub.
+- Remember that PR labels exist. You can assign an appropriate label to a pull request to designate it's scope, grab additional attention or just for extra navigation possibilities.
+- Don't feel obliged to comment everything you see, just for the sake of commenting. Be it on JIRA, GitHub, or even on IRC.
+
+In addition, in order to avoid coming off as rude to helpful contributors, please refrain from:
+- Asking the contributor to do unrelated work
+- Closing without providing a reason
+- Merging with the intention to rewrite that code soon after
