There's a special severity level for contributions of code in the 
SchedMD bugzilla "C - Contributions".


All the best,

Re: [slurm-users] How to contact slurm developers

[Riebs, Andy]

Relu,

There are a number of ways to run an open source project. In the case of Slurm, 
the code is managed by SchedMD. As a rule, one presumes that they have plenty 
on their plate, and little time to respond to the mailing list. Hence the 
suggestion that one get a support contract to get their attention. I’m not 
complaining, it’s just the way it works.

This mailing list is handled 99% by users like you and me. If you’ve got a 
great idea, particularly if you have an implementation, one of the best ways to 
handle it is to describe your innovation here, asking for feedback if you 
choose, and then offer the patch here on the mailing list or, as Ryan suggests, 
post it in the Bugzilla.

I’ve previously seen code contributed back in that way. See bug 1611 as an 
example (happened to have looked at that just yesterday).

The bug site is the best way.  The devs prioritize sponsored features 
over general community requested features.
