-> If you are interested in contributing to the TuringLang codebase, we recommend first submitting a feature proposal for review. The TuringLang team will indicate whether the proposal is accepted, after which implementation may proceed. Bug fixes and small changes are typically submitted directly as pull requests. Reviewer privileges are reserved for individuals with a sustained record of substantive contributions to TuringLang, or those explicitly invited by a team member.
