+## Transfer repositories
+
+To transfer a repository to the `rust-lang` organization:
+
+1. Write in the [#t-infra] Zulip channel saying that you want to transfer the repository
+2. Open a Pull Request in [team] to add the repository
+3. Transfer the repository to the GitHub profile of an [infrastructure admin]
+   (only infra-admins can transfer repositories into `rust-lang`)
+4. Wait for the infra admin to:
+   - Accept the transfer
+   - Merge the PR in the team repo
