+xmonad is a passion project created and maintained by the community.
+We'd love for you to maintain your own contributed modules (approve
+changes from other contributors, review code, etc.).  However, before
+we'd be comfortable adding you to the [xmonad GitHub
+organization][xmonad-gh-org] we need to trust that you have sufficient
+knowledge of Haskell and git; and have a way of chatting with you ([IRC,
+Matrix, etc.][community]).
