+First of all, any additional changes you push into your branch in your

+
+This is useful because it allows you to add parts that should be part of
+the feature after filing the pull request in case you have forgotten them,
+or after a developer has ruled that something needs to change.
+After each push, the automated checks are run again.
+
+There is also now an assignee label. If the request has not been reviewed
+by any developer yet, it is not assigned to anyone. After revision, a developer
+can choose to assign it to either a) you, b) a LAMMPS developer
+(including him/herself) or c) Steve Plimpton (sjplimp).
+
+Case a) happens if changes are required on your part.
+Case b) means that at the moment, it is being tested and reviewed by a LAMMPS developer.
+After review, the developer can choose to implement changes or suggest them to you.
+Case c) means that the pull request has been assigned to the lead developer, and means
+it is considered ready for merging.
+
+NOTE: When you submit a pull request (or ask for a pull request), you will receive an
+invitation to become a LAMMPS project collaborator. This will simplify certain
+administrative tasks and will probably speed up the merging of your feature.
+If you allow LAMMPS maintainers to push into your branch, they can, at the time
+of review, push changes they deem necessary into your branch. This can significantly
+speed up the procedure if only small fixes are required. In this case, akohlmey and
+rbberger made use of this to add some changes to improve this feature even before it
+is merged into the main distribution:
