How we handle patches (mmoved)

This is a page about improving or modifying OpenHatch.

We call that "Hacking OpenHatch," and there is a whole category of pages about that.

As a patch submitter

File a bug on https://openhatch.org/bugs/ with a link to your code (for example, a git repository somewhere on the Internet, or with patch files as attachments in bug itself.)
- If you generate patches and attach them, please do a few local commits and create the patch series with "git format-patch". (Read about How to generate patches with git format-patch)
Join IRC and ping someone with deployment access (e.g., paulproteus) until it gets reviewed
If it passes review, it should get deployed immediately.

Required: You must update the copyright section at the top of the files you modified.
Suggested: Your patch should probably have an accompanying set of tests so that we don't break your code down the line, by accident.

Ping the author on IRC (or something) to see if she's/he's uploaded the most recent version.
Ask the author to do this: "Please email devel@lists.openhatch.org saying that you're okay with your work being under AGPLv3. If you're willing, it'd be nice if you say 'the Affero GPL, version 3 or later, at your option'."
