============ |
|
|
|
git-multimail is an open-source project, built by volunteers. 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). |
