-# Mocha needs YOU!
-
-*Did you know* Mocha [is a dependency of over 100,000 projects](https://libraries.io/npm/mocha) published to npm alone?
-
-**Despite this, we're currently unable to merge most pull requests due to lack of maintenance resources.**
-
-**Are you interested in triaging issues or reviewing open PRs? Have some time to hack on its codebase?** If you would like to help maintain Mocha, please contact `@boneskull` on [Gitter](https://gitter.im/mochajs/mocha).
-
-*Thank you* :kissing_heart: to all of you interested in helping. These are Mocha's immediate needs:
-
-1. Increase test coverage on Node.js and browser
- - Increase integration coverage for all reporters
- - `html` reporter must be tested in browser
- - ~~Basic console reporters (*not* `nyan`, `landing`, etc.) must be tested in **both** browser and Node.js contexts~~
- - ~~Filesystem-based reporters must be tested in Node.js context~~
- - **UPDATE - May 24 2017**: Thanks to [community contributions](https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#mag-coverage), the coverage on most reporters has increased dramatically! The `html` reporter is still in [dire need of coverage](https://coveralls.io/builds/11674428/source?filename=lib%2Freporters%2Fhtml.js).
- - Increase coverage against all interfaces (`exports` in particular). Ideally this becomes a "matrix" where we repeat sets of integration tests across all interfaces.
- - Refactor non-Node.js-specific tests to allow them to run in a browser context. Node.js-specific tests include those which *require* the CLI or filesystem. Most everything else is fair game.
-1. Review current open pull requests
- - We need individuals familiar with Mocha's codebase. Got questions? Ask them in [our chat room](https://gitter.im/mochajs/mocha).
- - Pull requests **must** have supporting tests. The only exceptions are pure cosmetic or non-functional changes.
- - Pull request contributors must sign [the CLA](https://cla.js.foundation/mochajs/mocha).
-1. Close old, inactive issues and pull requests
- - ~~A bot should do this. We need a bot. Got a bot?~~ We now use GitHub's own [probot-stale](https://www.npmjs.com/package/probot-stale).
-1. Triage issues
- - If we run into "critical" bugs, they need fixing.
- - "Critical" means Mocha is broken w/o workarounds for a *large percentage* of users
- - Otherwise: respond to issues, close new dupe issues, confirm bugs, ask for more info, etc.
-
-Once we gain ground on the above items, we can work together formalize our contribution guidelines and governance. For further info & ideas, please see our [projects](https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/projects/).
