+<!--
+Thank you for opening a pull request!  Here are some tips on creating
+a well formatted contribution.
+
+Please give your pull request a title like "[component]: [short description]"
+
+This is the format for commit messages:
+
+"""
+[component]: [short description]
+
+[A longer multiline description]
+
+Fixes: [ticket URL on tracker.ceph.com, create one if necessary]
+Signed-off-by: [Your Name] <[your email]>
+"""
+
+The Signed-off-by line is important, and it is your certification that
+your contributions satisfy the Developers Certificate or Origin.  For
+more detail, see SubmittingPatches.rst.
+
+The component is the short name of a major daemon or subsystem,
+something like "mon", "osd", "mds", "rbd, "rgw", etc. For ceph-mgr modules,
+give the component as "mgr/<module name>" rather than a path into pybind.
+
+For more examples, simply use "git log" and look at some historical commits.
+
+This was just a quick overview.  More information for contributors is available here:
