-## Development Process
+Development Process
+-------------------
+
 The `develop` branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable.  Additionally, the develop branch represents ongoing development from which candidate releases will be cut.
 The `master` branch represents the current stable version currently in production.
 [Tags](https://github.com/neobytes-project/NeoBytes/tags) are created regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of NeoBytes Core.
 
 The contribution workflow is described in [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).
 
-## Testing
+Testing
+-------
+
+Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull
+requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing
+other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people
+lots of money.
