What do I do to get them? I'm not familiar w/ full details these days, but i think generally you need to ask the maintainer for them, in the process making some convincing arguments that you will not besmirch Emacs and GNU (by introducing or advocating non-Free software, for example), and that your interaction w/ the project will be a net positive. Once swayed, the maintainer starts the paperwork process (which might involve snail mail), and If All Goes Well, you will be notified one day. Another way is to fork Emacs, or find a way to get write privs on an existing fork. That resolves the write privs issue, but raises coordination/synchronization issues. I was about to say "not recommended", but on second thought, hey why not? I can imagine inter-repo hacking being fruitful and fun, too (YMMV). > What are you waiting for? Nobody gave them to me. What should be the workflow once I have them? I assume that I branch off fresh master, push my branch and write here - correct?
