+  Thank you for submitting this PR!

+  A maintainer will be here shortly to review it.
+
+  We are super grateful, but we are also overloaded! Help us by making sure
+  that:
+
+    * The context for this PR is clear, with relevant discussion, decisions
+      and stakeholders linked/mentioned.
+
+    * Your contribution itself is clear (code comments, self-review for the
+      rest) and in its best form. Follow the [code contribution
+      guidelines](https://github.com/ipfs/community/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#code-contribution-guidelines)
+      if they apply.
+
+  Getting other community members to do a review would be great help too on
+  complex PRs (you can ask in the chats/forums). If you are unsure about
+  something, just leave us a comment.
+
+  Next steps:
+
+    * A maintainer will triage and assign priority to this PR, commenting on
+      any missing things and potentially assigning a reviewer for high
+      priority items.
+
+    * The PR gets reviews, discussed and approvals as needed.
+
+    * The PR is merged by maintainers when it has been approved and comments addressed.
+
+  We currently aim to provide initial feedback/triaging within **two business
+  days**. Please keep an eye on any labelling actions, as these will indicate
+  priorities and status of your contribution.
+
+  We are very grateful for your contribution!
