+
+## Before Reporting an Issue
+
+Before you report an issue, we ask that you do the following:
+
+1. **Search for existing issues**: Ensure that the issue you encountered has not already been reported by searching the issue tracker.
+If you find a related issue, you can contribute by adding any additional information or subscribing to receive updates.
+
+2. **Update to the latest version**: Make sure you are using the most recent version of the project.
+Sometimes, issues might have already been resolved in the latest release.
+
+## Reporting Bugs
+
+When reporting an issue, please provide as much relevant information as possible.
+This will help us understand and address the problem efficiently.
+
+### Issue Title
+
+Choose a descriptive and concise title that summarizes the problem you encountered,
+and the area it occurred in. A good title provides a clear idea of the issue at a glance.
+
+An example of a good title: "ID3v2: Tag padding is treated as a frame"
+
+### Issue Summary
+
+In the issue summary, provide a detailed explanation of the problem you are facing.
+
+Be specific and avoid ambiguity. Include information such as:
+
+* Any error/panic messages related to the problem.
+* Any relevant configurations or settings you have modified.
+
+### Reproducer
+
+Include a set of clear and concise steps that can reproduce the issue you encountered.
+These steps should be detailed enough for others to follow and observe the same problem.
+Providing a minimal, standalone code example or a sample input can be immensely helpful.
+
+Unless necessary, please do not provide code with unnecessary context or inaccessible custom types.
+
+### Expected Behavior
+
+Describe what you expected to happen when you encountered the issue.
+This information helps us understand the desired outcome and compare it to the actual behavior.
+
+### Actual Behavior
+
+Explain what actually happened when you encountered the issue.
+Include any observed discrepancies or unexpected behavior.
+This information will aid us in diagnosing the problem accurately.
+
+### Assets
+
+If applicable, provide any additional assets that might be relevant to the issue.
+This can include files you have attempted to read, related discussions,
+or links to relevant resources (specs, issues in other projects, etc.).
+
+#### A Note on Copyright
+
+Please do not upload copyrighted content to your issue. If there is an issue that you can only produce
+with an asset that happens to be copyrighted, you can email it to `serial (AT) [domain on my profile]`.
+
+If you choose to email an asset, please be sure to state this in the issue.
+
+## Feature Requests
+
+There are two ways to create a feature request:
+
+* [Using the "[MISC] Feature Request" issue template](#miscellaneous-feature-requests)
+* [Using the "[API] Feature Request" issue template](#api-feature-requests)
+
+### Miscellaneous Feature Requests
+
+The "[MISC] Feature Request" issue template is for feature requests that either:
+
+* Have no public API
+* Are not fully fleshed out
+* Implementation details are not too important
+
+### API Feature Requests
+
+The "[API] Feature Request" issue template is for feature requests that have a specific design.
+
+If you have an feature with an exact idea of how it should be used, be sure to use this template.
+
+The "API design" form should only serve as a design, not an implementation.
+
+For example, do this:
+
+```rust
+pub struct MyTag {
+    some_field: ty,
+    some_other_field: ty,
+    // ... omit other fields if extending an existing type
+}
+
+impl MyTag {
+    pub fn foo(&self) -> String;
+}
+```
