+GitHub Issues for the Kubernetes Project
+========================================
+
+A list quick overview of how we will review and prioritize incoming issues at https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/issues
+
+Priorities
+----------
+
+We will use GitHub issue labels for prioritization.  The absence of a priority label means the bug has not been reviewed and prioritized yet.
+
+Priorities are "moment in time" labels, and what is low priority today, could be high priority tomorrow, and vice versa.  As we move to v1.0, we may decide certain bugs aren't actually needed yet, or that others really do need to be pulled in.
+
+Here we define the priorities for up until v1.0.  Once the Kubernetes project hits 1.0, we will revisit the scheme and update as appropriate.
+
+Definitions
+-----------
+* P0 - something broken for users, build broken, or critical security issue.  Someone must drop everything and work on it.
+* P1 - must fix for earliest possible OSS binary release (every two weeks)
+* P2 - must fix for v1.0 release - will block the release
+* P3 - post v1.0
+* untriaged - anything without a Priority/PX label will be considered untriaged

+Pull Request Process
+====================
+
+An overview of how we will manage old or out-of-date pull requests.
+
+Process
+-------
+
+We will close any pull requests older than two weeks.
+
+Exceptions can be made for PRs that have active review comments, or that are awaiting other dependent PRs.  Closed pull requests are easy to recreate, and little work is lost by closing a pull request that subsequently needs to be reopened.
+
+We want to limit the total number of PRs in flight to:
+* Maintain a clean project
+* Remove old PRs that would be difficult to rebase as the underlying code has changed over time
+* Encourage code velocity
