Dear Experts,

I'd like to propose a replacement for the org-get-priority function
which is backward compatible with the current version but allows the
user to add a sub-priority such as [#A]-5 or [#B]+3:

Could you provide a patch against current master and send it to the
list as a text/plain attachment?  This way the proposed modification
will end up in Org's patchtracker[1].

Best,

I tried looing at patchwork but couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do. Please advise on usage instructions.

Instead, I attached a manually generated patch against org.el in the development version from git. I created this patch via

$ git clone git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git
$ emacs org-mode/lisp/org.el # to modify the file and write it to org.mine.el
$ diff -rup org.el org.mine.el > org-get-priority.patch

Please advise on proper procedure as I love org and would enjoy the chance to contribute in the future.

Thanks,
