Comment (by mrphs):

 Additionally I noticed two more issues:

 - The help message is only in English with no indication whether the user
 can send a request or see the help message in another language. I think it
 would be useful to include examples in the email so if there's a chance
 that a user knows a little bit of English they can still understand what
 `Example: windows en` means.

 - The links that are being sent out are hosted on GitHub and GitLab, both
 of the sites have recently banned Iranian users and this might not be the
 best mirror link for them.
