Please be aware that our workflow does deviate slightly from the typical GitHub
project. Details on how to properly submit a pull request are covered in
`Lifecycle of a Pull Request <https://cpython-devguide.readthedocs.io/pullrequest.html>`_.
+One key point is to keep comments on GitHub to only those related to the reviewing
+the code in the pull request. All other discussions -- e.g. about the issue being
+fixed -- should happen on bugs.python.org.
If you are making a code contribution or large documentation contribution,
please feel free to add yourself to the ``Misc/ACKS`` file alphabetically.
