   3 Thanks for taking the time to contribute to Git! Please be advised that the
   4 Git community does not use github.com for their contributions. Instead, we use
   5 a mailing list (git@vger.kernel.org) for code submissions, code
   6 reviews, and bug reports.

   8 Nevertheless, you can use [GitGitGadget](https://gitgitgadget.github.io/) to
   9 conveniently send your Pull Requests commits to our mailing list.
