+Subject: [PATCH] Show banner in server and client startup to drive community engagement
+
+Suggest to users that they can support MariaDB development by simply giving a
+star on GitHub. This patch experiments with how well such a banner works, and
+may later change the contents to drive some other kind of engagement.
+
