- submitters can have a personal (or bells-and-whistles) keymap showcasing capabilities in the same PR but it shouldn't be embedded in the 'default' keymap
- submitters can also have a "manufacturer-matching" keymap that mirrors existing functionality of the commercial product, if porting an existing board
- Do not include VIA json files in the PR. These do not belong in the QMK repository as they are not used by QMK firmware -- they belong in the [VIA Keyboard Repo](https://github.com/the-via/keyboards)
- Do not include source files from another keyboard or vendors keyboard folder. Including core files is fine.
- For instance, only `wilba_tech` boards using be including `keyboards/wilba_tech/wt_main.c` and `keyboards/wilba_tech/wt_rgb_backlight.c`. But including `drivers/sensors/pmw3360.c` is absolutely fine.
- Code that needs to be used by multiple boards is a candidate for core code changes, and should be separated out.
Also, specific to ChibiOS:
- **strong** preference to using existing ChibiOS board definitions.
