Hi, Patches that expand the functionality or improve support for features are always welcome!
Naturally smaller patches are much easier to apply, so if you can break things up into smaller, self-contained logical chunks, applying becomes much easier. Also make sure to keep the suite of unit tests succeed through any changes. And a related bugzilla entry helps to keep things on the radar, as github pull requests are not automatically mirrored in the bug-tracking system. Thanks... Dominik.
