1Contributing 2============ 3 4git-multimail is an open-source project, built by volunteers. We would 5welcome your help! 6 7The current maintainers are `Matthieu Moy <http://matthieu-moy.fr>`__ and 8`Michael Haggerty <https://github.com/mhagger>`__. 9 10Please note that although a copy of git-multimail is distributed in 11the "contrib" section of the main Git project, development takes place 12in a separate `git-multimail repository on GitHub`_. 13 14Whenever enough changes to git-multimail have accumulated, a new 15code-drop of git-multimail will be submitted for inclusion in the Git 16project. 17 18We use the GitHub issue tracker to keep track of bugs and feature 19requests, and we use GitHub pull requests to exchange patches (though, 20if you prefer, you can send patches via the Git mailing list with CC 21to the maintainers). Please sign off your patches as per the `Git 22project practice 23<https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/SubmittingPatches#L234>`__. 24 25Please vote for issues you would like to be addressed in priority 26(click "add your reaction" and then the "+1" thumbs-up button on the 27GitHub issue). 28 29General discussion of git-multimail can take place on the main `Git 30mailing list`_. 31 32Please CC emails regarding git-multimail to the maintainers so that we 33don't overlook them. 34 35Help needed: testers/maintainer for specific environments/OS 36------------------------------------------------------------ 37 38The current maintainer uses and tests git-multimail on Linux with the 39Generic environment. More testers, or better contributors are needed 40to test git-multimail on other real-life setups: 41 42* Mac OS X, Windows: git-multimail is currently not supported on these 43 platforms. But since we have no external dependencies and try to 44 write code as portable as possible, it is possible that 45 git-multimail already runs there and if not, it is likely that it 46 could be ported easily. 47 48 Patches to improve support for Windows and OS X are welcome. 49 Ideally, there would be a sub-maintainer for each OS who would test 50 at least once before each release (around twice a year). 51 52* Gerrit, Stash, Gitolite environments: although the testsuite 53 contains tests for these environments, a tester/maintainer for each 54 environment would be welcome to test and report failure (or success) 55 on real-life environments periodically (here also, feedback before 56 each release would be highly appreciated). 57 58 59.. _`git-multimail repository on GitHub`: https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail 60.. _`Git mailing list`: git@vger.kernel.org
