Important: "First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute your Operator!"
This project collects Community Operators that work with OpenShift to be displayed in the embedded OperatorHub. If you are new to Operators, start here.
The contribution process works off standard git Pull Requests. Every PR needs to be signed. The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for a commit. Your signature certifies that you wrote the patch or otherwise have the right to contribute the material. The rules are pretty simple if you can certify the below (from developercertificate.org):

Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
have the right to submit it under the open source license
indicated in the file; or
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
in the file; or
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified

Then you just add a line to every git commit message:
