Good bug reports are extremely helpful - thank you! Good bug reports are also quite rare.
To help and raise the bug report quality, you must read the wiki document about Bug Reports
Feature requests are welcome. But take a moment to find out whether your idea fits the scope and goals of the project. Check also the Roadmap, maybe your idea is already planned.
It's up to you to make a strong case to convince the project's developers of the merits of this feature. Please provide as much detail and context as possible and get in touch. Feel free to detail how you envision things, be they about (pseudo)code, interface, mockup, etc...
Good pull requests are a fantastic help. But please get in touch before you start working, it's always a sad moment to dismiss a patch for which a coder has spent a lot of time because it simply does not fit the project. Please read the wiki document about Pull requests
