I haven't worked with pull requests so I'm not sure how that would go but we could work through it if you wanted. Another way (and this is currently what I'd prefer) is to post patches to the list here for review. That way they can be discussed and updated if necessary assuming they are acceptable. Patches posted to the list should be text only in-line in emails with one patch per email as is common practice in most places that take patches via a mailing list. Patches should be kept simple so that what is being done can be easily understood. Larger overall changes should consist of a series of simpler patches that each do sub-tasks to reach the end goal, if at all possible. How you end up with those patches depends on a few things, like whether you have committed them to your local repo. or not and if you use a utility to manage git patches (such as StGIT) or not. Let me know your situation and I'll try and offer you ways to construct patches for posting. Ian
