+# Policies on git repositories
+
+This document explains our current policies around git repositories. Everything
+not covered in this document is most likely a case-by-case decision. In these
+cases please create an issue with the
+[Infrastructure Working Group](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-iwg/issues).
+
+## New GitHub repositories
+
+Requirements for *new* repositories as part of the
+[LLVM organisation on GitHub](https://github.com/llvm):
+
+* The repo will be used for something related to the LLVM ecosystem or community.
+* The repo contains a `README.md` explaining the contents.
+* The repo contains a `CONTRIBUTING.md`, ideally copy this from
+ [llvm-project](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).
+* The repo contains a `LICENSE.TXT`, preferably copy this from
+ [llvm-project](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/LICENSE.TXT).
+ Other licences need to be discussed case-by-case.
+
+If you want to integrate your project as part of the Monorepo, please take a
+look at the
+[Developer Policy](DeveloperPolicy.html#adding-an-established-project-to-the-llvm-monorepo>).
+
+To request a new repository, please create an issue with the
+[Infrastructure Working Group](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-iwg/issues).
+
+## Repo access on GitHub
+
+Some 3rd party applications require write access to our GitHub organisation in
+order to work properly. Typical examples are continuous integration services
+reporting build results back to GitHub. We consider granting access to such
+application if they provide benefits to the LLVM community and do not raise
+privacy or security concerns.
+
+To request access please run an RFC on the mailing list and get community
+feedback.
