To contribute, sumbit a pull request at Codeberg. Alternatively you may e-mail the patch (obtained via git format-patch) to any of the active maintainers instead.

One of easiest way to contribute is to look for failing patches and rebasing them on nsxiv master. Take a look at the Codeberg CI to get a list of failing patches.

Feel free to add yourself to the list of "Authors" if you contribute to anything. You may also add some form of contact detail if you wish (preferably email, but can be anything else).
