Even if the maintainer did not respond in step #4, make sure to ALWAYS copy the maintainer when you change their code. +For small patches you may want to CC the Trivial Patch Monkey +trivial@rustcorp.com.au set up by Rusty Russell; which collects "trivial" +patches. Trivial patches must qualify for one of the following rules: + Spelling fixes in documentation + Spelling fixes which could break grep(1). + Warning fixes (cluttering with useless warnings is bad) + Compilation fixes (only if they are actually correct) + Runtime fixes (only if they actually fix things) + Removing use of deprecated functions/macros (eg. check_region). + Contact detail and documentation fixes + Non-portable code replaced by portable code (even in arch-specific, + since people copy, as long as it's trivial) + Any fix by the author/maintainer of the file.
