### Missing a feature?
You can request a new feature by submitting an issue to our GitHub Repository.
If you would like to implement a new feature, please submit an issue with a
proposal for your work first, to be sure that it is of use for everyone.
Please consider what kind of change it is:
* For a **major feature**, first open an issue and outline your proposal so
that it can be discussed. This will also allow us to better coordinate our
efforts, prevent duplication of work, and help you to craft the change so
that it is successfully accepted into the project.
* **Small features and bugs** can be crafted and directly submitted as a Pull
Request. However, there is no guarantee that your feature will make it into
the `master`, as it's always a matter of opinion whether if benefits the
overall functionality of the project.
## Submission guidelines
### Submitting an issue
Before you submit an issue, please search the issue tracker, maybe an issue for
your problem already exists and the discussion might inform you of workarounds
readily available.
