This is a standard way on github to redirect contributors to the
mailing list. Doing this to reduce the number of github PR's
and issues that need to be redirected.

+## Contributing to Iproute2
+
+Thanks for taking the time to contribute to Iproute2! Please be advised that the
+Linux network community does not use github.com for their contributions.
+Instead, we use a mailing list (netdev@vger.kernel.org) for code submissions,
+code reviews, and bug reports.
+
+Nevertheless, you can use [GitGitGadget](https://gitgitgadget.github.io/) to
+conveniently send your Pull Requests commits to our mailing list.
+
+Please read more about ["the development process"](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git/plain/README.devel)
+to learn how the Iproute2 project is managed, and how you can work with it.
