Re: Current status of the GNOME Github mirror



"Thanks for your contribution to GNOME" reads too much like a "Thank you
for not smoking" to me.

I usually read a CONTRIBUTING.md before I make any contributions so that
I make sure I'm doing it right. The "thank you" makes it out like I'm
already an active participant.

Yes, I know that's petty.

I propose this slightly-tweaked text:

* Adds a friendly thank-you at the start
* Avoids the implication that pull requests are unwelcome in all other
GNOME modules (since some maintainers do accept them)
* Fixes the comma splice ;)

Thanks Andrea,

Michael
