-How to contribute to Tepl
-=========================
+Tepl development
+================
 
-Tepl follows the same guidelines and code conventions as GtkSourceView:
+Contributions are no longer accepted
+------------------------------------
 
-    https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtksourceview/tree/HACKING
+And new maintainers are not accepted either.
 
-Tepl is hosted on the GNOME GitLab instance, you can fork the repository
-and then do a merge request:
+But the source code is open, you can copy it freely and create a new project.
+What I just ask for the new project:
+- Must have a different project name.
+- And it must be possible to install Tepl plus the new project in parallel on
+  the same prefix. For example by just bumping the major/API version of the
+  library to something far apart.
