Code contributions - what's the process?

[Pedro de Carvalho Gomes]

Hi Tuomas,

Dan is sort of correct in his reply. The development has been very slow 
the last years. As you may see, it has been 2.5 years since the last 
release. About one year ago I have started to send contributions, to try 
to help Amarok to get going. It's in my plans to release a new alpha 
version this December still.

If you want to contribute, I'd be glad to review your merge requests. 
Also, I'd ask you to do the same with mine. In theory, that's a part of 
the process. We should always having someone reviewing our changes 
before merging. But given the current scenario, I also think it's fair 
to push the changes yourself without someone's approval after a week.

Cheers,

Pedro
