JOSS requires for community guidelines:

Are there clear guidelines for third parties wishing to 1) Contribute to the software

...which is currently not present. Contact info is great, but add at least a sentence about contributing so I can check the box.

Thanks for pointing out. We updated our README.md to add contributing guidelines to the added section “Join MOTES Community and Contribute”. Thanks!
