 #### Bug Fixes and Improvements
 Improvements are adding/changing processes and infrastructure, bug fixes can be also on development work products like code.
 In case you want to fix a bug or contribute an improvement, please perform the following steps:
-1) Create a PR by using the corresponding template ([Bugfix PR template](.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/bug_fix.md) or [Improvement PR template](.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/improvement.md)). Please mark your PR as draft until it's ready for review by the Committers (see the [Eclipse Foundation Project Handbook](https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#contributing-committers) for more information on the role definitions). Improvements are requested by the definition or modification of [Stakeholder Requirements](docs/stakeholder_requirements) or [Tool Requirements](docs/tool_requirements) and may be implemented after acceptance/merge of the request by a second Improvement PR. The needed reviews are automatically triggered via the [CODEOWNERS](.github/CODEOWNERS) file in the repository.
