Currently there is an unofficial mirror of GCC on GitHub that people sometimes submit pull requests to: https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc However, this is not the proper way to contribute to GCC, so that means that someone (usually Jonathan Wakely) has to go through the PRs and manually tell people that they're sending their PRs to the wrong place. One thing that would help mitigate this problem would be files in a special .github directory that GitHub would automatically open when contributors attempt to open a PR, that would then tell them the proper way to contribute instead. This patch attempts to add two such files. They are written in Markdown, which I'm realizing might require some special handling in this repository, since the ".md" extension is also used for GCC's "Machine Description" files here, but I'm not quite sure how to go about handling that. Also note that I adapted these files from equivalent files in the git repository for Git itself: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md What do people think? ChangeLog: * .github/CONTRIBUTING.md: New file. * .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: New file.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to GCC! Please be advised that if you are
viewing this on github.com, that the mirror there is unofficial and unmonitored.
The GCC community does not use github.com for their contributions. Instead, we use
a mailing list (gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org) for code submissions, code reviews, and
bug reports. Please send patches there instead.
