We'd love to accept your patches and contributions to this project. We just ask that you follow our contribution guidelines when you do.
Contributions to this project must be accompanied by a signed Contributor Agreement. You (or your employer) retain the copyright to your contribution; this simply grants us permission to use and redistribute your contributions as part of the project.
All submissions to this project—including submissions from project members—require review. Our review process typically involves performing unit tests, development tests, integration tests, and security scans using internal SAS infrastructure. For this reason, we don’t often merge pull requests directly from GitHub.
Instead, we work with submissions internally first, vetting them to ensure they meet our security and quality standards. We’ll do our best to work with contributors in public issues and pull requests; however, to ensure our code meets our internal compliance standards, we may need to incorporate your submission into a solution we push ourselves.
This does not mean we don’t value or appreciate your contribution. We simply need to review your code internally before merging it. We work to ensure all contributors receive appropriate recognition for their contributions, at least by acknowledging them in our release notes.
