  if that is not related to your PR, please make *another* PR for that.
 | 
			
		||||
* Split big pull requests into multiple small ones. An incremental change
 | 
			
		||||
  will be faster to review than a huge PR.
 | 
			
		||||
* Use the first comment as a summary explainer of your PR and you should keep this up-to-date as the PR evolves.
 |

 |

If your PR could cause a breaking change you must add a BREAKING section to this comment e.g.:
 | 
			
		||||
 |

```
 | 
			
		||||
## :warning: BREAKING :warning:

 |

 * **PUT** endpoints return status **No Content (204)**, used to **add/assign** existing Objects (e.g. User) to something (e.g. Org-Team)
 |

 * **PATCH** endpoints return changed object and status **OK (200)**, used to **edit/change** an existing object

## Large Character Comments
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Throughout the codebase there are large-text comments for sections of code, e.g.:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```go
 | 
			
		||||
// __________            .__               
 | 
			
		||||
// \______   \ _______  _|__| ______  _  __
 | 
			
		||||
//  |       _// __ \  \/ /  |/ __ \ \/ \/ /
 | 
			
		||||
//  |    |   \  ___/\   /|  \  ___/\     / 
 | 
			
		||||
//  |____|_  /\___  >\_/ |__|\___  >\/\_/  
 | 
			
		||||
//         \/     \/             \/        
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
These were created using the `figlet` tool with the `graffiti` font.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
A simple way of creating these is to use the following:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```bash
 | 
			
		||||
figlet -f graffiti Review | sed  -e's+^+// +' - | xclip -sel clip -in
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Backports and Frontports
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Occasionally backports of PRs are required.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The backported PR title should be:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
Title of backported PR (#ORIGINAL_PR_NUMBER)
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The first two lines of the summary of the backporting PR should be:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
Backport #ORIGINAL_PR_NUMBER
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
with the rest of the summary matching the original PR. Similarly for frontports
 | 
			
		||||

The below is a script that may be helpful in creating backports. YMMV.
