+## Important considerations when opening a pull request:
+
+1.) Pull requests will only be accepted if they are opened against the `master` branch. Pull requests opened against other branches without prior consent from the maintainers will be closed.
+
+2.) Please follow the [coding style guidlines](https://github.com/cleanflight/cleanflight/blob/master/docs/development/CodingStyle.md).
+
+3.) If your pull request is a fix for one or more issues that are open in GitHub, add their numbers in the form `Fixes #<issue number>`. This will cause the issues to be closed when the pull request is merged.
+
+4.) Remove this Text :).
