=head1 DEVELOPERS
=head2 Where do I send patches?
Please send patches to the libguestfs mailing list
L<https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs>. You don't have
to be subscribed, but there will be a delay until your posting is
manually approved.
Please don't use github pull requests - they will be ignored. The
reasons are (a) we want to discuss and dissect patches on the mailing
list, and (b) github pull requests turn into merge commits which we
don't want.
=head2 How do I propose a feature?
Large new features that you intend to contribute should be discussed
on the mailing list first
(L<https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs>). This avoids
disappointment and wasted work if we don't think the feature would fit
into the libguestfs project.
If you want to suggest a useful feature but don't want to write the
code, you can file a bug (see L</GETTING HELP AND REPORTING BUGS>)
with C<"RFE: "> at the beginning of the Summary line.
