+Follow the instructions outlined in the
+[Github Documentation](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request)
 
-Run `./rbt status`. The first time this runs it will bootstrap and you will be asked to login.
-Subsequent runs will cache your login credentials.
+If possible, make a link to the issue this PR is solving by adding the `#` followed by the number
+of the issue it is addressing.
 
-## Submitting a Patch for Review

-Post a review with `rbt`, fill out the fields in your browser and hit Publish.

-If you're unsure about who to add as a reviewer, you can default to adding Stephan Erb (StephanErb) and
-Renan DelValle (rdelvalle). They will take care of finding an appropriate reviewer for the patch.
