+# Current Policies
+
+### What is indexed?
+
+ * Perl distributions which contain Perl packages.
+
+### When are issues closed?
+
+We want to keep the issue list manageable (so we can focus on what actually needs fixing), if you feel an issue needs opening again, please add a comment with why it needs re-opening and we'll look at it again.
+
+ * Issues will be closed and moved to 'wishlist' if they are not actual bugs
+ * Issues we think we have addressed will be closed
+ * Issues we are not going to take any further action on without more information
