+## Typo Fixing and One-Line changes
+
+Typo fixes are welcome, as are simple one line fixes. Do not open many separate pull requests for each
+individual typo fix. This is incredibly annoying to deal with as someone needs to review each PR, run
+CI, and merge. Instead, accumulate batches of typo fixes into a single PR. If there are objections to
+specific changes, these can be addressed in the review process before the final merge, if the changes
+are accepted.
+
+Similarly, low effort and bad faith changes are annoying to developers and such issues may be closed
+immediately without response.
+
+## Contributions from Automated Tools
+
+People making changes found or generated by automated tools MUST note this when opening an issue
+or creating a pull request. This can help give context to developers if the change/issue is
+confusing or nonsensical.
