Please +try to add reproducible steps and the relevant version of GDM. + +If you want to contribute functionality or bug fixes, please open a Merge +Request (MR). For more info on how to do this, see GitLab's [help pages on +MR's]. Please also follow the GDM coding style, which is documented in +`HACKING`. + +If GDM is not translated in your language or you believe that the +current translation has errors, you can join one of the various translation +teams in GNOME. Translators do not commit directly to Git, but are advised to +use our separate translation infrastructure instead.
