And my impression is, some people who file a pull request from their github repository directly (which is not supported in the Moodle development workflow), might have stumbled upon this, too.<br />You see, now as I've been welcome to the developers (my patch has been included), the process is as you describe in your blog entry.<br /><br />But before, the instruction<br />"More to the point, I can go to the tracker issue, click Request peer review, and fill in the details of this git branch, including that compare URL."<br />was pretty misleading.<br /><br />Man, I looked all over, again and again, for this "Request peer review" button!<br />Just to point out, for other people struggling to find the "Request peer review" button.<br /><br />Of course, I've been kindly helped out by the Moodle HQ staff, namely Marina Glancy. Thanks Marina!<br />I think, if you're not a developer, you may just mention the github repository you have deposited your fix in in the tracker comments (try to name the github branch correctly, though). You then will be taken care of, and finally, if everything goes well, admitted to the circle of the contributors!<br /><br />Hope to see you soon sometime<br /><br />LucaLuca Böschnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247246257923129702.post-55197516784943930882015-12-01T08:22:15.409+00:002015-12-01T08:22:15.409+00:00If you want help sorting out your Moodle site, ple...If you want help sorting out your Moodle site, please post in an appropriate forum on moodle.org, probably https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=596 or https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=28Tim Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349724348368316287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247246257923129702.post-87087030342750404592015-12-01T03:24:54.169+00:002015-12-01T03:24:54.169+00:00Hi tim, Based on your suggestion,
