+The preferred way to ask questions or make comments about SQLite or to
+report bugs against SQLite is to visit the
+[SQLite Forum](https://sqlite.org/forum) at <https://sqlite.org/forum/>.
+Anonymous postings are permitted.
+
+If you think you have found a bug that has security implications and

+email to drh at sqlite dot org.

+we cannot accept pull requests, because
+if we did accept a pull request, the changes in that pull request would
+carry a copyright and the SQLite source code would no longer be fully in
