pull requests directly into the master branch. Instead, once a pull request is
ready for merging, we'll make the appropriate changes in the internal codebase
and, when the change is synced out, give the pull request author credit for the
commit.

Contributing to Apache Maven
======================

You have found a bug or you have an idea for a cool new feature? Contributing
code is a great way to give something back to the open source community. Before
you dig right into the code, there are a few guidelines that we need
contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of
things.

For any non-trivial change, we need to be able to answer these questions:

* Why is this change done? What's the use case?
* For user facing features, what will the API look like?
* What test cases should it have? What could go wrong?
* How will it roughly be implemented? We'll happily provide code pointers to save you time.

    well as externally on GitHub.

In a graphical form, the entire lifetime of a PR looks like

### Contributor License Agreements

We'd love to accept your patches! Before we can take them, we have to jump a couple of legal hurdles.

See the [security policy](https://golang.org/security) for details.

The recommended way to file an issue is by running `go bug`.
Otherwise, when filing an issue, make sure to answer these five questions:

1. What version of Go are you using (`go version`)?
2. What operating system and processor architecture are you using?
3. What did you do?
4. What did you expect to see?
5. What did you see instead?
