 Logrus is a structured logger for Go (golang), completely API compatible with
-the standard library logger. [Godoc][godoc]. **Please note the Logrus API is not
-yet stable (pre 1.0). Logrus itself is completely stable and has been used in

-every build.**
+the standard library logger.
+
+**Seeing weird case-sensitive problems?** It's in the past been possible to
+import Logrus as both upper- and lower-case. Due to the Go package environment,
+this caused issues in the community and we needed a standard. Some environments
+experienced problems with the upper-case variant, so the lower-case was decided.
+Everything using `logrus` will need to use the lower-case:
+`github.com/sirupsen/logrus`. Any package that isn't, should be changed.
+
+To fix Glide, see [these
+comments](https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/issues/553#issuecomment-306591437).
+For an in-depth explanation of the casing issue, see [this
+comment](https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/issues/570#issuecomment-313933276).
+
+**Are you interested in assisting in maintaining Logrus?** Currently I have a
+lot of obligations, and I am unable to provide Logrus with the maintainership it
+needs. If you'd like to help, please reach out to me at `simon at author's
