Is there any documentation or guidelines on the best way to contribute to
this particular effort?
I did create a patch and submitted a bug on Mantis[1], but I am unsure that
was the right way to go about it. I have a few other patches to contribute, but
they don't even constitute bugs, so I'd appreciate any guidelines you might
have on how to contribute to groupchat.
