+Please read the following before submitting:

+- If you are a user of a wlroots-based compositor, please report first your
+  issue to your compositor's issue tracker. The issue you are experiencing
+  might be a compositor bug rather than a wlroots bug.
+- Do not open issues related to proprietary drivers.
+- Do not use this issue tracker for questions. Instead, use the IRC channel
+  (#wlroots on Libera Chat).
+- Please attach full debug logs of your compositor (redact information you
+  might consider sensitive). For crashes, please attach a full stack trace with
+  debug symbols.
