New input method: bulgarian-new-phonetic

Hello, everyone!

Let me introduce first as this is my first group email.

My name is Yordan Miladinov, I'm 23 and and I'm using Emacs as my primary
editor for 3 or 4 years now.

OK, on the problem now:
As far as I see, here, in Bulgaria, the most frequently used keyboard
layout for writing in Bulgarian language is the new phonetic layout. It was
actually issued as BDS (Bulgarian National Standard) in 2006. Oddly Emacs
doesn't support it yet. That's why I made a patch to add it as an input
method (modifying the leim/quail/cyrillic.el file). It works as it is
intended to work and since I was happy with the result I committed the
patch upstream (using bazaar as described in the EmacsWiki page).

My question is how can I get to know if the patch successfully passed a CR,
who's revisioning it and, if it's rejected, why.

Also, because I did few improvements on the input method since I committed
it (that was 5 days ago), should I resubmit the file or should I wait for
the initial changes to get approved first?

Regards!
Y.

Thanks for trying to contribute. I think there might be a
misunderstanding. You can't commit to the official Emacs repository
(http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/) unless you are a registered
member of the Emacs project. So I'm not sure where you committed your
patch. Perhaps you only committed it to your local copy of the Emacs
sources.

The right thing to do is to send your patch to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.

Generally, explain what problem you are trying to solve, and how your
patch solves it. Ideally, provide a ChangeLog entry that matches the
format used in Emacs. We require a copyright assignment for non-trivial
patches, but you don't need to worry about that right now. See
etc/CONTRIBUTE for more information.

Finally, even if your patch looks good, it might not be possible to
apply it now, since we are currently in "feature-freeze" waiting for the
release of Emacs 24.1.

Hello!

I did as you told, I sent the patch to the bug-gnu-emacs list and I applied
for the FSF form for changes. Will see if things go smoothly and the patch
is applied.
Thank you!
