 compile the list of maintainers to CC for each patch. A configuration file
 needs to be set up first, see the script itself for instructions.
 
+It is highly recommended to check out the most recent upstream/main branch
+in $STABLE_DIR as the tools will make use of the MAINTAINERS file found there.

 If you use GIT_AM_PAUSE_ON_FAIL="yes" you can call 3-request-backport without
