Description
(Canonical internal) JIRA link: https://warthogs.atlassian.net/browse/FR-4917
What should be done?
Write a concise how-to article demonstrating the process of getting changes to Ubuntu packages into the Ubuntu archive. This guide should cover both the social and technical aspects, including:
- when and how to communicate with the upstream project, debian (if applicable), and ubuntu maintainers
- navigating the SRU process for stable releases
- opening a merge proposal
- requesting reviews and sponsorship
The article should be succinct and focus on providing clear steps without delving into detailed explanations.
Why should this be done?
New contributors often lack familiarity with the procedures for contributing changes to Ubuntu, which can deter them from participating. A straightforward guide will help demystify the process and encourage more contributions. Additionally, experienced contributors can use the guide as a quick reference or checklist, as even they need to revisit process details occasionally.
