We would +welcome your help! + +The current maintainers are `Matthieu Moy <http://matthieu-moy.fr>`__ and +`Michael Haggerty <https://github.com/mhagger>`__. + +Please note that although a copy of git-multimail is distributed in +the "contrib" section of the main Git project, development takes place +in a separate `git-multimail repository on GitHub`_. + +Whenever enough changes to git-multimail have accumulated, a new +code-drop of git-multimail will be submitted for inclusion in the Git +project. + +We use the GitHub issue tracker to keep track of bugs and feature +requests, and we use GitHub pull requests to exchange patches (though, +if you prefer, you can send patches via the Git mailing list with CC +to the maintainers). Please sign off your patches as per the `Git +project practice +<https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/SubmittingPatches#L234>`__. + +Please vote for issues you would like to be addressed in priority +(click "add your reaction" and then the "+1" thumbs-up button on the +GitHub issue). + +General discussion of git-multimail can take place on the main `Git +mailing list`_. + +Please CC emails regarding git-multimail to the maintainers so that we +don't overlook them. + +Help needed: testers/maintainer for specific environments/OS +------------------------------------------------------------ + +The current maintainer uses and tests git-multimail on Linux with the +Generic environment. More testers, or better contributors are needed +to test git-multimail on other real-life setups: + +* Mac OS X, Windows: git-multimail is currently not supported on these + platforms. But since we have no external dependencies and try to + write code as portable as possible, it is possible that + git-multimail already runs there and if not, it is likely that it + could be ported easily. + + Patches to improve support for Windows and OS X are welcome. + Ideally, there would be a sub-maintainer for each OS who would test + at least once before each release (around twice a year). + +* Gerrit, Stash, Gitolite environments: although the testsuite + contains tests for these environments, a tester/maintainer for each + environment would be welcome to test and report failure (or success) + on real-life environments periodically (here also, feedback before + each release would be highly appreciated). + + +.. _`git-multimail repository on GitHub`: https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail +.. _`Git mailing list`: git@vger.kernel.org |
