This project is NOT open for direct contributions (you may still
contribute by providing patches for download somewhere else for
example).

You still can open a PR if you like. 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.
