How to contribute to the Pgpool-II project

Pgpool-II is an open source project and the contribution style follows the way PostgreSQL does except that we don't have CF application.

Source code is managed by a git repository.

We maintain 5-6 stable branches. The under development branch is always the master branch. We don't add new features to stable branches. New features should be added to the master branch.

New feature proposals should be discussed on [https://www.pgpool.net/mailman/listinfo/pgpool-hackers mailing list

The proposal should include reason, back ground, architecture design, and most important thing: why this is good for users (and developers). The proposal need not to be complete. Just throwing an idea is welcome.
