If there is both, a README and README.md file in the repo, the README.md is preferred for the "about" text of the project shown on Github. Which means we could add a README.md with some standard text to every repo only for Github. The advantage is that contributors will (most likely) see this before they create the pull request. (Or as an addition to a PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE file and/or autoclose script). Cheers Alex
