Hello William,

the most convenient way for me would be if you had to Gitlab account and
would submit a pull request through it, here:
https://gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail/-/merge_requests - or if you are
unsure about Git, you can instead file an "issue" there and attach it.

The other thing is if the patch is small enough (< 30 kB) you can submit
it through the fetchmail-devel@ mailing list which is subscriber-only
posting and requires that you can tell your mailer to mark the patch a.
as attachment and b. as text/plain or similar, so it does not get
stripped away.

Looking forward to your submission!

Regards,
Matthias
