+This document outlines some processes that the maintainers should stick to.
+
+## Issues Process
+
+There are 3 types of issues that can be created:
+
+- `"bug"`
+- `"new rule"`
+- `"enhancement"`
+
+### Triage
+
+The triage process is basically making sure that the issue is correctly reported (and ask for more info if not), and categorize it correctly if it belongs to a different type than initially assigned.
+
+- When a new issue is created, they'll include a `"triage"` label
+- If the issue is correctly reported, please remove the `"triage"` label, so we know is valid and ready to be tackled
+- If the issue is **not** correctly reported, please ask for more details and add the `"awaiting response"` label, so we know more info has been requested to the author
+- If the issue belong to an incorrect category, please update the labels to put it in the right category
+- If the issue is duplicated, please close it including a comment with a link to the duplicating issue
+
+## Pull Requests Process
+
+### Main PR workflow
+
+_TODO: pending to describe the main PR process_
+
+### Contributors
+
+When the PR gets merged, please check if the author of the PR or the closed issue (if any) should be added or updated in the [Contributors section](https://github.com/testing-library/eslint-plugin-testing-library#contributors-).
+
+If so, you can ask the [`@all-contributors` bot to add a contributor](https://allcontributors.org/docs/en/bot/usage) in a comment of the merged PR (this works for both adding and updating). Remember to check the [Contribution Types table](https://allcontributors.org/docs/en/emoji-key) to decide which sort of contribution should be assigned.
+
+## Stale bot
+
+This repo uses [probot-stale](https://github.com/probot/stale) to close abandoned issues and PRs after a period of inactivity.
+
+They'll be considered inactive if they match all the following conditions:
+
+- they have been 60 days inactive
+- they have at least one of the following labels:
+  - `"awaiting response"`: we are waiting for more details but the author didn't react
+  - `"new rule"`: there is a proposal for a new rule that no one could handle
+  - `"enhancement"`: there is a proposal for an enhancement that no one could handle
+  - `"invalid"`: something is wrong with the issue/PR and the author didn't take care of it
+
+When flagged as a stale issue or PR, they'll be definitely closed after 7 more days of inactivity. Issues and PRs with the following labels are excluded: `"pinned"`, `"security"`, and "`triage"`. Use the first one if you need to exclude an issue or PR from being closed for whatever reason even if the inactive criteria is matched.
