Once a patch is submitted, one of the members of the Fire Development Team will review it for possible inclusion in the source code tree. Sometimes, it can take us a while to find the time to review and integrate the change, so please be patient. Occasionally there are issues with the submission, and you will be contacted via email for clarification. Also, in some rare instances, the patch may conflict with other work going on, and it may not be used. However, if you communicate what you are doing on the fire-development mailing list, your chances of creating an incompabible patch are greatly lessened.
