 We could minimize the impact by first patching the issue, publishing the patch, and then (after 30 days) disclose the bug.
 So please first send an e-mail to [email protected] describing the issue, and then we will work on fixing it as soon as possible.
 
+## Automated releases and versioning
+
+We use `release-please` to automatically create version bumps and PRs.
+The `.release-please-manifest.json` file contains the configuration for this (see [docs](https://github.com/googleapis/release-please/blob/main/docs/manifest-releaser.md)).
+
+## Commits
+
+Use [ConventionalCommits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) for commit messages.
+
+- `fix: ...` for bugfixes
+- `feat: ...` for new features
+- `chore: ...` for changes that don't affect the code (e.g. updating dependencies)
+
+Be sure to link to issues using `#123`.
+
+The Changelog is automatically updated!
