+# Contributing to authenticator-rs
+
+Thanks for your interest in contributing to `authenticator-rs`.
+
+## Where to report bugs
+
+`authenticator-rs` is *used* by Firefox, but it is one component of 
+[Firefox's WebAuthn stack][ffx-webauthn], which isn't used on all platforms or
+in all circumstances. GitHub issues are *only* for this library.
+
+All synchronised passkey manager browser extensions *completely replace*
+Firefox's WebAuthn APIs. Report any bugs when using these to their creators,
+even if they're set to fall back to Firefox's API.
+
+You can report WebAuthn bugs in Mozilla's official Firefox builds via Bugzilla:
+
+* Android: [Firefox for Android → WebAuthn][bz-android]
+* Other platforms: [Core → DOM: Web Authentication][bz-webauthn]
+
+Third-party builds of Firefox (including those from Linux distributions) may
+modify Firefox in ways outside of Mozilla's control, and may not have access to
+restricted WebAuthn entitlements for their builds (needed on Android, iOS and
+macOS). Issues with these builds should be reported to their maintainers.

+[bz-android]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?product=Firefox%20for%20Android&component=WebAuthn&bug_status=__open__
+[bz-webauthn]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?product=Core&component=DOM%3A%20Web%20Authentication&bug_status=__open__
+[ffx-webauthn]: https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/dom/webauthn
+
+## Where to send patches
+
+**`authenticator-rs` has two repositories:**
+
+* In Firefox's source tree: [`/dom/webauthn/authenticator`](https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/dom/webauthn/authenticator)
+* On GitHub: https://github.com/mozilla/authenticator-rs/
+
+As the library is primarily intended for use in Firefox, we *strongly* prefer
+making changes in Firefox first. We periodically synchronise changes back to
+GitHub (as a manual process).
+
+The version of the library used in Firefox uses a rolling release, and
+*might not* have discrete version number of its own.
+
+There are some small differences between these versions, and that affects which
+version to send patches for. Both versions have:
+
+* Rust unit tests (in Firefox, use [`./mach rusttests`][rusttests]), run in CI
+* NSS support
+* Same platform support
+
+### Firefox version
+
+***Generally speaking, most changes should be made in Firefox first.***
+
+Check out Firefox's [getting set up][build-firefox] and
+[how to submit a patch][patch-firefox] guides for more information.
+
+Firefox uses `authenticator-rs` as its WebAuthn backend on:
+
+* BSD
+* Linux
+* [WebDriver virtual authenticator][virtual] (all platforms)
+
+It is used as a fallback when platform APIs are not available on:
+
+* macOS ([locally-signed and unsigned builds][macos-signing], and old versions)
+* Windows (before Windows 10 version 1903)
+
+Pros:
+
+* Very easy to test changes in Firefox
+* API changes can be made in lock-step with Firefox
+* Better test coverage from [Firefox][mochitest] and [WPT][] test suites, runnable locally and in [Try][] (CI)
+* Firefox's linting rules applied in CI
+
+Cons:
+
+* Cold builds of Firefox are slow (can't use Artifact Mode)
+* Higher resource requirements (CPU, RAM, disk), especially with `rust-analyzer`
+* Only supports NSS, so crypto changes need to be replicated
+* No [standalone CLI examples](./examples) and [fuzz tests](./fuzz/)
+
+### GitHub version
+
+Generally speaking, changes to [cryptography-related code](./src/crypto/) and
+[examples](./examples/) are the only things that should be submitted to GitHub
+first.
+
+Pros:
+
+* Faster builds
+* Lower resource requirements (CPU, RAM, disk)
+* Supports multiple crypto backends (NSS, OpenSSL, RustCrypto), all tested in GitHub Actions
+* [Standalone CLI examples](./examples) and [fuzz tests](./fuzz)
+
+Cons:
+
+* Difficult to test changes in Firefox
+* Difficult to integrate changes back into Firefox
+* Limited test coverage
+* Firefox's linters not available in GitHub Actions
