+The project homepage is at https://fedorahosted.org/elfutils/
+
+The current elfutils source code can be checked out with
+git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/elfutils.git
+
+The developer mailinglist to send patches to is
+https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/elfutils-devel
+
+Please supply patches using git format-patch or using git send-email.
+
+Sign your work
+
+To facilitate tracking of who did what, we've adopted a "sign-off"
+procedure for patches based on the procedure used by the Linux kernel
+project.
+
+The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
+patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right
+to pass it on as a patch under an appropriate license. The rules are
+pretty simple: if you can certify the below:
+
+ Developer's Certificate of Origin
+
+ By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
+
+ (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me,
+ and I have the right to submit the contribution under each
+ license indicated in, or otherwise designated as being
+ applicable to, the file.
+
+ (b) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
+ person who certified (a), and I have not modified it.
+
+ (c) I understand and agree that the project and the
+ contribution are public and that a record of the
+ contribution (including all personal information I submit
+ with it, including my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely
+ and may be redistributed.
+
+then you just add a line saying
+
+Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <[email protected]>
+
+using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
+
+git commit --signoff will add such a Signed-off-by line by at the end of
+the commit log message for you.
