Yesterday I sent to this email list the git commit with my proposal. I would appreciate a lot if you confirmed that you received it. Thanks.

Dear Bug-librejs email list,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Mónica Gómez, and I have
recently added a new feature to LibreJS that I believe could be a
valuable addition to the project. The feature allows users to create and 
restore backups of their whitelisted and blacklisted sites, enabling
them to maintain their settings when using a different computer or
switching web browsers (e.g., from Firefox to IceCat).

I made 10 tests and none of them had any errors, and also tested the
extension using it with the new changes in my web browser and everything 
worked correctly and no other functionality was affected. The mechanism
is the following: it creates a JSON file with the values of
`pref_whitelist` and `pref_blacklist` and lets the user download the
file in their computer. Upon restoring the same JSON file, the extension 
reads the saved values and updates LibreJS' localstorage accordingly,
overwriting any previous data. Additionally, the page is updated to
ensure users can immediately see the changes.

To align with the LibreJS development process, I referred to the
official manual available on gnu.org for the "Building" and "Releasing a 
new version" sections. I have already made and signed the
commit. However, I am currently facing challenges in pushing the changes 
to Savannah or making a pull request, as I have never used such website
and I understand it works differently from other git hosting platforms
like GitHub or Codeberg.
I am enthusiastic about contributing to the project, and I would greatly 
appreciate your guidance on the Savannah process and the rest of the
packaging and release steps. If you find my contribution valuable,
please let me know, and I would be happy to proceed as needed.


This sounds great. Thank you. You don't need to package or release
anything. As far as I know, the #1 preferred way to send your code is
via email to this list, a guide on that is here:
https://git-send-email.io/.

If you run into problems, then try hosting a git repo somewhere and
letting us know the url & branch. In the past people have used
https://pagure.io/
