+Welcome! Happy to see you willing to make the project better. Have you read the entire
+[user documentation](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) yet?

+```{rubric} Bird's eye view

+
+In terms of inspiration, _Black_ is about as configurable as _gofmt_ (which is to say,
+not very). This is deliberate. _Black_ aims to provide a consistent style and take away
+opportunities for arguing about style.
+
+Bug reports and fixes are always welcome! Please follow the
+[issue templates on GitHub](https://github.com/psf/black/issues/new/choose) for best
+results.
+
+Before you suggest a new feature or configuration knob, ask yourself why you want it. If
+it enables better integration with some workflow, fixes an inconsistency, speeds things
+up, and so on - go for it! On the other hand, if your answer is "because I don't like a
+particular formatting" then you're not ready to embrace _Black_ yet. Such changes are
+unlikely to get accepted. You can still try but prepare to be disappointed.
