• Before jumping into a PR, be sure to search existing PRs or issues for an open or closed item that relates to your submission.
• You have to sign the CLA online via GitHub.
• The coding guidelines outlined in the reference manual must be followed.
• The feature/improvement must be implemented as generic as possible.
• The code/feature/improvement must not affect existing functionality.
• Each commit message in a GitHub pull request must be signed via Signed-off-by: Frank Mustermann <frank.mustermann@xxx.yyy>.
• If possible, sign your commits with a GPG key.
• If the PR fixes a GitHub issue, then the line Fixes: https://github.com/openmediavault/openmediavault/issues/<ISSUE_NR> must be included.
