+
+## Adding change notes with your PRs
+
+It is very important to maintain a log for news of how
+updating to the new version of the software will affect
+end-users. This is why we enforce collection of the change
+fragment files in pull requests as per [Towncrier philosophy].
+
+The idea is that when somebody makes a change, they must record
+the bits that would affect end-users only including information
+that would be useful to them. Then, when the maintainers publish
+a new release, they'll automatically use these records to compose
+a change log for the respective version. It is important to
+understand that including unnecessary low-level implementation
+related details generates noise that is not particularly useful
+to the end-users most of the time. And so such details should be
+recorded in the Git history rather than a changelog.
+
+## Alright! So how do I add a news fragment?
+
+To submit a change note about your PR, add a text file into the
+`docs/changelog-fragments.d/` folder. It should contain an
+explanation of what applying this PR will change in the way
+end-users interact with the project. One sentence is usually
+enough but feel free to add as many details as you feel necessary
+for the users to understand what it means.
+
+**Use the past tense** for the text in your fragment because,
+combined with others, it will be a part of the "news digest"
+telling the readers **what changed** in a specific version of
+the library *since the previous version*. You should also use
+[MyST Markdown] syntax for highlighting code (inline or block),
+linking parts of the docs or external sites.
+At the end, sign your change note by adding ```-- by
+{user}`github-username``` (replace `github-username` with
+your own!).
+
+Finally, name your file following the convention that Towncrier
+understands: it should start with the number of an issue or a
+PR followed by a dot, then add a patch type, like `feature`,
+`bugfix`, `doc`, `misc` etc., and add `.md` as a suffix. If you
+need to add more than one fragment, you may add an optional
+sequence number (delimited with another period) between the type
+and the suffix.
+
