+Issue tracker is **ONLY** used for reporting bugs on documents (PEPs), not
+bugs in Python.
+
+New features should be discussed according to the following process:
+[PEP 1](https://peps.python.org/pep-0001/#start-with-an-idea-for-python)
+
+And according to [Contributing Guide](../CONTRIBUTING.rst):
+
+While fixing spelling mistakes as part of more substantive
+copyediting and proofreading of draft and active PEPs is okay,
+we generally advise against PRs that simply mass-correct minor typos on
+older PEPs that don't significantly impair meaning and understanding,
+as these tend to create a fairly high level of noise and churn for
+PEP readers, authors and editors relative to the amount of practical value
+they provide.
