+$Id$
+This README.md file exists for people browsing on github.
+
+The TeX-Live project on github (https://github.com/TeX-Live) is a mirror
+of the upstream Subversion repository (https://tug.org/texlive/svn). We
+use it primarily for automatic building of the sources on several platforms.
+
+We prefer using mailing lists to github: tex-live@tug.org for general
+bugs and discussion, tex-k@tug.org for bugs and patches for the compiled
+programs, and so on. List of TL lists: https://tug.org/texlive/lists.html.
+
+However, if you prefer to open issues or submit PRs on github, that's
+ok. We will see them and will reply as soon as we can.
+
+One common problem: Package bug reports should go to the package
+maintainer, however they wish to receive reports, not to any general
+TeX Live list. TL redistributes what is uploaded to CTAN without changes.
+
+For information about the source tree here, see the ./README file here,
+not this README.md.
