+1. If this is your first PR, please read CONTRIBUTING.md and sign the CLA
+   first. We cannot review code without a signed CLA.
+2. Please file an issue *first*. All features and most bug fixes should have
+   an associated issue with a design discussed and decided upon. Small bug
+   fixes and documentation improvements don't need issues.
+3. New features and bug fixes must have tests. Documentation may need to
+   be updated. If you're unsure what to update, send the PR, and we'll discuss
+   in review.
+4. Note that PRs updating dependencies and new Go versions are not accepted.
+   Please file an issue instead.
