I think the PR was merged already? Correct me if I'm mistaken. Is there some kind of minimal HOWTO for our IP clearance process? If not, as a community we should collaborate to make one, preferably a simple document that explains how to use the tool and basic steps. That should be integrated into the documentation so that new volunteers who want to earn a commit bit can come forward and help. Earlier in this thread, I wrote: > 1.

If we have a HOWTO I can start doing a little bit each day, like I have been doing for nxstyle. If everyone joins in, we will start making progress... Nathan
