+
+Thank you for the pull request! `you-get` is a growing open source project, which would not have been possible without contributors like you.
+
+Here are some simple rules to follow, please recheck them before sending the pull request:
+
+- [ ] If you want to propose two or more unrelated patches, please open separate pull requests for them, instead of one;
+- [ ] All pull requests should be based upon the latest `develop` branch;
+- [ ] Name your branch (from which you will send the pull request) properly; use a meaningful name like `add-this-shining-feature` rather than just `develop`;
+- [ ] All commit messages, as well as comments in code, should be written in understandable English.
+
+As a contributor, you must be aware that
+
+- [ ] You agree to contribute your code to this project, under the terms of the MIT license, so that any person may freely use or redistribute them; of course, you will still reserve the copyright for your own authorship.
+- [ ] You may not contribute any code not authored by yourself, unless they are licensed under either public domain or the MIT license, literally.
+
+Not all pull requests can eventually be merged. I consider merged / unmerged patches as equally important for the community: as long as you think a patch would be helpful, someone else might find it helpful, too, therefore they could take your fork and benefit in some way. In any case, I would like to thank you in advance for taking your time to contribute to this project.
+
+Cheers,
+Mort
