Dear Nicholas Bell, Thank you for your interest in this project. Thank you also for your first contributions to Sagemath. I see that your PR concerned a tricky technical modification, and is currently discussed in the corresponding issue; if time permits, it would be valuable for your submission to make another PR tackling some simpler issue that would also ideally be connected to this project. Recall that the short description gives an idea for the project, and the next step is that you, the potential contributor, are expected to turn this idea into a full, detailed proposal. Best regards, Vincent Neiger
