-Thanks for your interest in helping out conda-forge.
-
-Whether you are brand new or a seasoned maintainer, we always appreciate
-feedback from the community about how we can improve conda-forge. If you
-are submitting a PR or issue, please fill out the respective template. Should
-any questions arise please feel free to ask the maintainer team of the
-respective feedstock or reach out to `@conda-forge/core` for more complex
-issues.
-
-In the case of any issues reported, please be sure to demonstrate the relevant
-issue (even if it is an absence of a feature). Providing this information will
-help busy maintainers understand what it is you hope to accomplish. Also this
-will help provide them clues as to what might be going wrong. These examples
-can also be reused as tests in the build to ensure further packages meet these
-criteria. This is requested to help you get timely and relevant feedback. :)
