 For small changes you don't have to read the document end to end, but should at
 least look at the sections on how to ensure your code and commits are formatted
 according to the style requirements.
+
+Do not create "draft" pull requests. It is a pointless waste of time - if your
+code is ready to reviewed you can make a normal pull request. If your code is
+not ready to be reviewed you should not make a pull request yet.
+
+Draft pull requests will be closed immediately.
