Subject: How to contribute a new extension?
From: kaigai@ak.jp.nec.com (KaiGai Kohei)

Hi,

I'm one of the developers in the SELinux.
I have an extension of PHP to provide interfaces to communicate
with SELinux, and would like to propose them to the official PHP.

Now I'm looking for informations about steps to propose a new
extension. Could someone point to me?
I could not find introductions to submit patches. :(

The following pages show specifications and implementations that
I would like to propose:
  http://code.google.com/p/sepgsql/wiki/Memo_PHP_SELinux
  http://code.google.com/p/sepgsql/source/browse/misc/php-selinux/

But I'm not clear for what should I do in the next.
 - What is the correct list to submit a patch?
 - What base version of PHP should I make a patch toward?
 - What facilities are necessary except for the code?
   (I guess documentation and testcases are required.)
 - Who can admit the patch inclusion?

Sorry, I'm not good at development cycle in this community...

Thanks,
