Issue ID: 10300
           Summary: Add detailed instructions for MRs to "Guidelines for
                    Contributing" page
           Product: website
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needs_review
          Severity: normal
          Priority: ---
         Component: website
          Assignee: bugs@openldap.org
          Reporter: smckinney@symas.com
  Target Milestone: ---
The current page covers submitting patches but doesn't adequately cover
creating merge requests. This provides a barrier for new developers.
In addition to clarifying when a change should be submitted with a patch or
merge request, it could provide a set of steps including creating a fork,
branch, squash, fixup, naming conventions and other info that would be lost on
a new contributor.
