Patches for calculator.el

[Eli Barzilay]

I have a bunch of changes for calculator.el -- what's the preferred
way to do that?  (=> who/where do I send it to, should they be lumped
as a single change or split to a bunch of smaller ones.)

I would file them as bug reports, by sending email to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org
with the first line of the contents being "Tags: patch" and  the second line
being empty; see <http://debbugs.gnu.org/Reporting.html> for details.

I'd also split it up, as that makes it easier for others to
review.  But don't spend too much time splitting -- if it's hard to split,
just send it all at once.

There's no repository somewhere with some form of pull requests?

I *want* to do that in a bunch of separate patches, since they do
different things to the code.  Will a git-formatted pull request work
as a way to transfer a bunch of such patches in a single email?

I don't know what a "pull request" is, sorry.
The main repository does not use git, if that helps.
See <http://savannah.gnu.org/bzr/?group=emacs>.

IIUC you're the maintainer, so you can commit them yourself (if you
don't have access, just request membership in the "emacs" group from
your savannah.gnu.org page), or yu can send them for someone else to
install them.  In either case, you can do it at the granularity of your
choice,
