-## Pull Requests
+## Pull Requests & Patches
 
-Pull requests should generally be made against the master (default) branch and include relevant tests, if applicable. 
+The Go Driver team is experimenting with GerritHub for contributions. GerritHub uses GitHub for authentication and uses a patch based
+workflow. Since GerritHub supports importing of Pull Requests we will also accept Pull Requests, but Code Review will be done in
+GerritHub.
 
-Code should compile and tests should pass under all go versions which the driver currently supports.  Currently the driver 
-supports a minimum version of go 1.7.  Please run 'make' to confirm.   By default, running the tests requires that you started a 
-mongod server on localhost, listening on the default port. At minimum, please test against the latest release version of the MongoDB 
-server.
+Patches should generally be made against the master (default) branch and include relevant tests, if applicable.
 
-If any tests do not pass, or relevant tests are not included, the 
-pull request will not be considered. 
+Code should compile and tests should pass under all go versions which the driver currently supports.  Currently the driver
+supports a minimum version of go 1.7. Please ensure the following tools have been run on the code: gofmt, golint, errcheck,
+go test (with coverage and with the race detector), and go vet. For convenience, you can run 'make' to run all these tools.
+**By default, running the tests requires that you have a mongod server running on localhost, listening on the default port.**
+At minimum, please test against the latest release version of the MongoDB server.

+If you are working on a bug or feature listed in Jira, please include the ticket number prefixed with GODRIVER in the commit,
+e.g. GODRIVER-123. For the patch commit message itself, please follow the [How to Write a Git Commit Message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/) guide.

 ## Testing / Development
 
-To run driver tests, make sure a MongoDB server instance is running at localhost:27017. Using make, you can run `make` (on windows, run `nmake`). 
-This will generate tests from the specifications, run coverage, run go-lint, run go-vet, and build the examples.
