Let's see if this works at all.

-# Hacking on systemd
-
-We welcome all contributions to systemd. If you notice a bug or a missing
-feature, please feel invited to fix it, and submit your work as a GitHub Pull
-Request (PR) at https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/new.
-
-Please make sure to follow our [Coding Style](CODING_STYLE.md) when submitting patches.
-Also have a look at our [Contribution Guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).
-
-When adding new functionality, tests should be added. For shared functionality
-(in `src/basic/` and `src/shared/`) unit tests should be sufficient. The general
-policy is to keep tests in matching files underneath `src/test/`,
-e.g. `src/test/test-path-util.c` contains tests for any functions in
-`src/basic/path-util.c`. If adding a new source file, consider adding a matching
-test executable. For features at a higher level, tests in `src/test/` are very
-strongly recommended. If that is not possible, integration tests in `test/` are
-encouraged.
-
-Please also have a look at our list of [code quality tools](CODE_QUALITY.md) we have setup for systemd,
-to ensure our codebase stays in good shape.
-
-Please always test your work before submitting a PR. For many of the components
-of systemd testing is straight-forward as you can simply compile systemd and
-run the relevant tool from the build directory.
-
-For some components (most importantly, systemd/PID1 itself) this is not
-possible, however. In order to simplify testing for cases like this we provide
-a set of `mkosi` build files directly in the source tree. `mkosi` is a tool for
-building clean OS images from an upstream distribution in combination with a
-fresh build of the project in the local working directory. To make use of this,
-please acquire `mkosi` from https://github.com/systemd/mkosi first, unless your
-distribution has packaged it already and you can get it from there. After the
-tool is installed it is sufficient to type `mkosi` in the systemd project
-directory to generate a disk image `image.raw` you can boot either in
-`systemd-nspawn` or in an UEFI-capable VM:
-
-```
-# systemd-nspawn -bi image.raw
-```
-
-or:
-
-```
-# qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp 2 -bios /usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.fd -hda image.raw
-```
-
-Every time you rerun the `mkosi` command a fresh image is built, incorporating
-all current changes you made to the project tree.
-
-Alternatively, you may install the systemd version from your git check-out
-directly on top of your host system's directory tree. This mostly works fine,
-but of course you should know what you are doing as you might make your system
-unbootable in case of a bug in your changes. Also, you might step into your
-package manager's territory with this. Be careful!
-
-And never forget: most distributions provide very simple and convenient ways to
-install all development packages necessary to build systemd. For example, on
-Fedora the following command line should be sufficient to install all of
-systemd's build dependencies:
-
-```
-# dnf builddep systemd
-```
-
-Putting this all together, here's a series of commands for preparing a patch
-for systemd (this example is for Fedora):
-
-```sh
-$ sudo dnf builddep systemd # install build dependencies
-$ sudo dnf install mkosi # install tool to quickly build images
-$ git clone https://github.com/systemd/systemd.git
-$ cd systemd
-$ vim src/core/main.c # or wherever you'd like to make your changes
-$ meson build # configure the build
-$ ninja -C build # build it locally, see if everything compiles fine
-$ ninja -C build test # run some simple regression tests
-$ (umask 077; echo 123 > mkosi.rootpw) # set root password used by mkosi
-$ sudo mkosi # build a test image
-$ sudo systemd-nspawn -bi image.raw # boot up the test image
-$ git add -p # interactively put together your patch
-$ git commit # commit it
-$ git push REMOTE HEAD:refs/heads/BRANCH
- # where REMOTE is your "fork" on GitHub
- # and BRANCH is a branch name.
-```
-
-And after that, head over to your repo on GitHub and click "Compare & pull request"
-
-Happy hacking!

-## Fuzzers
-
-systemd includes fuzzers in `src/fuzz/` that use libFuzzer and are automatically
-run by [OSS-Fuzz](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz) and [Fuzzit](https://fuzzit.dev) with sanitizers.
-To add a fuzz target, create a new `src/fuzz/fuzz-foo.c` file with a `LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput`
-function and add it to the list in `src/fuzz/meson.build`.
-
-Whenever possible, a seed corpus and a dictionary should also be added with new
-fuzz targets. The dictionary should be named `src/fuzz/fuzz-foo.dict` and the seed
-corpus should be built and exported as `$OUT/fuzz-foo_seed_corpus.zip` in
-`tools/oss-fuzz.sh`.
-
-The fuzzers can be built locally if you have libFuzzer installed by running
-`tools/oss-fuzz.sh`. You should also confirm that the fuzzer runs in the
-OSS-Fuzz environment by checking out the OSS-Fuzz repo, and then running
-commands like this:
-
-```
-python infra/helper.py build_image systemd
-python infra/helper.py build_fuzzers --sanitizer memory systemd ../systemd
-python infra/helper.py run_fuzzer systemd fuzz-foo
-```
-
-When you add a new target you should also add the target on [Fuzzit](https://app.fuzzit.dev/admin/RxqRpGNXquIvqrmp4iJS/dashboard)
- (Please ask someone with permissions). One the target is configured on Fuzzit you need to add it to
- `travis-ci/managers/fuzzit.sh` so the new target will run sanity tests on every pull-request and periodic fuzzing jobs.
-
-If you find a bug that impacts the security of systemd, please follow the
-guidance in [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) on how to report a security vulnerability.
