+# Policy for actionlint's features
+
+- actionlint focuses on detecting mistakes. Feature requests and patches for checks related to code style or
+  conventions are generally not accepted.
+- actionlint tries to keep [the configuration](docs/config.md) as minimal as possible. Feature requests and patches
+  for checks that require user configurations are generally not accepted.
+
+These are important to keep actionlint useful and convenient for everyone. I believe that no one wants to create and
+maintain a heavy configuration file just for linting CI workflows.
+
+It's helpful to check if a similar patch has been rejected in the past before submitting it.
