But it may be not accepted, or even +just ignored. + +If the PR is accepted or not, solely depends on this projects original +authors opinion. There are NO objective "rules" or similar that need to +be fulfilled for a PR to get merged. It only gets merged if the original +author thinks he should merge it. + +For example there are neither any formatting rules nor is there any +definition of what kind of changes even are allowed in this project. (As +already said) this fully depends on the original authors opinion and +even facts are not accepted as arguments. + +Be aware that opinions are no hard rules too. Therefore they can change +at will. Only because a similar decision was made earlier, does not mean +that now a similar approach is acceptable. + +Further, the original projects author may apply any changes of any kind +before or after merging a contribution. + +If a PR does not get merged, it is recommended to publish your work as +patch files somewhere outside this repository. + |
