(The issues system does have an email interface, but it is not a +substitute for email. I can't cc anyone else when I want to, for instance. +Well I can, but any response the original requester then makes using the +website will not get cc-d to the person I cc-d). + +Please send patches *via email*, not as github pull requests. Again, if you +think it's a security issue, send it directly to my gmail address, but +otherwise please send it to the mailing list, so others can see it and comment +on it. + +The preferred format is the files created by git-format-patch, as attachments. +However, if your repo has a public clone URL, you can make a new branch just +for this fix, and send the repo URL and branch name to the mailing list. + +(If you do send me a github pull request, I may take it if it's a trivial +patch, but otherwise I'll ask you to close the pull request, then read +this URL for how to send me the patch.) |
