+## Adding a new target
+
+New targets typically start as Tier 3 and then can be promoted later.
+To propose addition of a new target, open a pull request on [`rust-lang/rust`]:
+
+- Copy the [Tier 3 target policy](#tier-3-target-policy) to the description
+  and fill it out, see [example][tier3example].
+- Add a new description for the target in `src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support`
+  using the [template][platform_template].
+- Add the target to the [SUMMARY.md][summary] (allows wildcards) and
+  [platform-support.md][platformsupport] (must name all targets verbatim).
+  Link to the created description page.
+- Ensure the pull request is assigned to a member of the [Rust compiler team][rust_compiler_team] by commenting:
+  ```text
+  r? compiler-team
+  ```

 ## Tier 3 target policy
 
 At this tier, the Rust project provides no official support for a target, so we
