## Contribution types
We are a small team maintaining a large project. As a result, we cannot merge every feature, even if it
is bug-free and useful, because we then commit to maintaining it indefinitely. We will always accept:
- bug fixes
- security fixes (please responsibly disclose via security@matrix.org *before* creating pull requests)
We will accept the following with caveats:
- documentation fixes, provided they do not add additional instructions which can end up going out-of-date,
e.g example configs, shell commands.
- performance fixes, provided they do not add significantly more maintenance burden.
- additional functionality on existing features, provided the functionality is small and maintainable.
- additional functionality that, in its absence, would impact the ecosystem e.g spam and abuse mitigations
- test-only changes, provided they help improve coverage or test tricky code.
The following items are at risk of not being accepted:
- Configuration or CLI changes, particularly ones which increase the overall configuration surface.
The following items are unlikely to be accepted into a main Dendrite release for now:
- New MSC implementations.
- New features which are not in the specification.
