We do accept changes from anyone. However, we do not accept all changes. Bug fixes are always welcome. GNU make is a critical infrastructure project with a LOT of portability issues, dependency issues, etc. so not all ideas for improvements/new features will be accepted. If you are planning on working on a larger change that may have backward-compatibility, etc. implications it's best to discuss your idea first, on the [email protected] mailing list. If you have a patch for a fix, you can email it (as an attachment please) to the [email protected] mailing list. You can also file a bug (even if the change is not technically a bug fix) then attach the patch to it on Savannah: https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/make/ Cheers!
