7.5 Sending your Patch

Before to send the patch to be considered for merging, please use the following checkpoints list to make sure that everything is in place:

• Is the patch including a ChangeLog entry?
• Is the patch including an update to the AUTHORS file documenting any new modified/created file by you?
• What about the copyright headers? Did you copy the header from other file and therefore it is needed to change the copyright years?

If everything is ok please send the patch to pdf-devel@gnu.org. Note that it is preferable to include the merge directive in the message body than to send it as an attachment.
