I totally understand the concern.

The procedure for creating PRs using AGit is a bit arcane but I'll give it
a try.

It would be nice to have this document big and bold when users register, I
was quite lost after registration seeing I couldn't fork.

I'm gonna try to think about how to split patches from the ML perspective
to a PR perspective.

Is there any opinion on this? Typically the series I have has a section for
flac and one for opus, do y'all think one general PR for the base work then
one PR for flac and one PR for opus or one single PR with the patch series
like in the ML?

Thanks,
