Hi Sharan,

In order to submit your contributions you have to configure your git repo
as stated in [0].

We don't directly issue pull requests, we use git review instead.

If you didn't install it yet, install it with 'pip install git-review', and
then simply 'git review' your change.

So, the workflow is:
- Code, code, code
- Make sure you have your changes in a branch called bug/bug-no or
bp/bp-id. If you started working in master, simply do a 'git checkout -b
bug/bug-no or bp/bp-id'
- Commit the change
- Write the commit message [1]
- And finally 'git review'

The change-id is auto generated, you don't have to add it by hand.

You can check more details about the workflow in [2].

Hope it's clear, and if not, feel free to reach me on IRC at

My best,
