How do I submit a bugfix or a new feature to be added to Cons?
Short answer: Submit your patch to the mailing list (diff -c or diff -u output). After discussion, and barring objections, your patch may be incorporated into a future development release, and then into a stable release some time later. Long answer: A number of things have to be done to make a patch ready for release. The more of these you do yourself before submitting your patch, the easier it is to incorporate, and the quicker and more likely the patch goes in. For example, if you don’t document your new feature yourself, the patch will have to wait until someone else has time to document it…
