Contributor Guidelines

The three rules that contributors MUST follow:

Discuss a feature before implementing it
cargo +nightly fmt should always be run on code before creating a commit
Commits should follow the Conventional Commit guidelines
- A small change in one commit is exempt from this rule

Things that contributors SHOULD NOT be worried about:

Code style: cargo fmt renders this a nonissue
Code acceptance: in most circumstances, safe Rust code will be accepted on the spot
Commit messages: maintainers can revise them before or after merging

Things that contributors SHOULD be aware of:

rustup should be the preferred tool for Rust developers
cargo clippy can point out the majority common mistakes in Rust code
sbuild can be used to verified that debian packages build correctly
unsafe is explicitly disallowed, unless otherwise permitted by a maintainer
