 The minimum quality standards that any change must satisfy before being
 committed to the main development branch are:
 
-#. Code must adhere to the `LLVM Coding Standards <CodingStandards.html>`_.
+#. Code must adhere to the :doc:`LLVM Coding Standards <CodingStandards>`.
 
 #. Code must compile cleanly (no errors, no warnings) on at least one platform.
 
 #. Bug fixes and new features should `include a testcase`_ so we know if the
    fix/feature ever regresses in the future.
 
-#. Code must pass the ``llvm/test`` test suite.
-
-#. The code must not cause regressions on a reasonable subset of llvm-test,
-   where "reasonable" depends on the contributor's judgement and the scope of
-   the change (more invasive changes require more testing). A reasonable subset
-   might be something like "``llvm-test/MultiSource/Benchmarks``".
+#. Pull requests should build and pass premerge checks. For first-time
+   contributors, this will require an initial cursory review to run the checks.
 
 #. Ensure that links in source code and test files point to publicly available
-   resources and are used primarily to add additional information rather than
-   to supply critical context. The surrounding comments should be sufficient
-   to provide the context behind such links.
