Thanks for taking interest to contributing to our project!
Prior to making a PR, we ask you to communicate it with us, preferably by opening an issue. This would help to keep your work aligned with the maintainers view and get insights from them.
All commits are required to be signed via verified GPG key. You can read about commit signing in this series of articles (we recommend using a hardware GPG token).
All commits are required to be signed off by including Signed-off-by: YOUR NAME <your_email@example.com> line.
By doing this, you certify that the commit is compliant with Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO),
meaning that you wrote the code or otherwise have the right to submit the code you are
contributing to the project.
