Simple patches are good patches. Every fix should be in a separate patch.

Before you send a pull-request on github, it's required to verify all your games and simple demos work.

A commit must include a simple description, optionally what it fixed for you and your “Signed-off-by” with full name and valid email.

For getting the patch into Mesa, you need at least two Reviewed-by or ACKed by. Minimally one R-b has to come from David Heidelberg (okias), Axel Davy (mannerov) or Marek Olšák (mareko).
