+Submitting patches
+==================
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to this project!
+
+Please **do not** submit a pull request on GitHub. This repository is
+an automated mirror, and I don't develop using GitHub's platform.
+
+Instead, either
+
+- publish a branch somewhere (a GitHub fork is fine), and e-mail
+ <spwhitton@spwhitton.name> asking me to merge your branch, possibly
+ using git-request-pull(1)
+
+- prepare patches with git-format-patch(1), and send them to
+ <spwhitton@spwhitton.name>, possibly using git-send-email(1)
+
+Signing off your commits
+========================
+
+You must certify the contents of ``DEVELOPER-CERTIFICATE`` for your
+contribution. Add a ``Signed-off-by`` line to your commit message by
+passing the ``-s`` option to git-commit(1).
