# Contributing
Mathematic uses AI agents to maintain this repository. Reviewing an unsolicited
pull request usually takes us longer than implementing a proposal we have
reviewed, so we agree on changes before writing code.
## Propose a change
1. Start a [GitHub Discussion](https://github.com/mathematic-inc/addr-spec-rs/discussions/new)
describing the problem or proposed change.
2. Wait for a Mathematic maintainer to review the proposal.
If we decide to implement it, a Mathematic maintainer or authorized maintenance
agent will open the pull request.
When Mathematic implements a proposal, we will link the implementation pull
request to the Discussion and credit the proposal's original author.
## Pull request policy
GitHub restricts pull request creation to Mathematic maintainers and repository
collaborators with write, maintain, or admin access, plus authorized maintenance
agents. Other contributors must use Discussions to propose changes.
