Welcome!

Buildroot works just like the Linux kernel and many other open-source
projects: a single maintainer has write access to the official Git
repositories.

Contributors, even long term contributors, must post patches on the
list, or send pull requests to the maintainer. Patches posted to the
list are preferred since it allows everybody to contribute to the
review and testing effort.

From an introduction on how to contribute to Buildroot, you can have a
look at http://elinux.org/Buildroot_how_to_contribute.

If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask on this list or on the
IRC channel.

Best regards,

Thomas
