I guess it's outlined in the Contribute code docs [1], maybe not that
explicitly, but..

TL;DR: communicate here, send patches to small fixes here, larger
contributions go to GitHub (with issue describing the problem first,
then a mail here with the link to the PR).

What I do believe (and what I have commented in the other mail) is that
it would be beneficial to keep the dev docs updated and with enough
detail, i.e. summarizing all the conversations here and on GitHub.

Also, replying in a reasonable time to all the PRs would encourage more
contributions I believe.

Aaand.. seizing the opportunity and as 3.2 got its own branch, any
chance to close issues/1765 (remove SNMP) [2] by merging pull/2100 [3]?
This would open the road to work on chroot & other security
improvements.

And it would be nice to finally decide/proceed on issues/1731 [4], what
Дилян has mentioned (PCRE).

Regards,
Anatoli
