+    IMPORTANT:
+    ==========
+    Thank you for contributing to NetBox Topology Views! Please 
+    note that our contribution guidelines require a feature 
+    request or bug report to be labeled "status: accepted". This 
+    helps avoid waste time and effort on a proposed change that 
+    we might not be able to accept.
+
+    Please prefix the title of your pull request according to 
+    it's type. You should use "Closes #FEATURE_ID: ..." for feature 
+    requests and "Fixes #ISSUE_ID: ..." for issues. This helps 
+    us closing issues automatically after merging.
+
+    To sum it up:
+    1. Create Bug Report or Feature Request
+    2. Wait until the issue has been labeled "status: accepted"
+    3. Start working on the issue in a seperate branch
+    3. Create a pull request and name the title with a prefix 
+       according to the issue ID.
