Developers/Maintainers

Hello, it's very nice that you want to help with coding, but [1] is not very realistic: in fact, I can't find a single patch by you in gerrit.

• How to become a MediaWiki hacker explains how to get started.
• Once you've fixed some bugs, if there's one component which proves most interesting for you, I suggest that you talk with its maintainer (if any), or with whoever merged your changes in that area.
• As for Talk:Developers/Maintainers, please move your suggestions elsewhere, for instance Project:Support desk. How to report a bug explains how to make such suggestions in the future (both are already in bugzilla).
