+Development process
===========================
Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when
they think their feature or bug fix is ready.
-If it is a simple/trivial/non-controversial change, then one of the
-bitcoin development team members simply pulls it.
-
-If it is a more complicated or potentially controversial
-change, then the patch submitter will be asked to start a
-discussion (if they haven't already) on the mailing list:
-http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=bitcoin-development
-
The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a
good thing. Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches
if they don't match the project's coding conventions (see coding.txt)
The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed
to be completely stable. Tags are regularly created to indicate new
-official, stable release versions of Bitcoin. If you would like to
