Re: how to submit new code to an existing package

Is there a document that shows what the requirements are to submit new code to XEmacs? And how to do it? Working on new icons for XEmacs, we improved the xpm editing mode to better make and edit icons. Byrel and I have extended the xpm-mode to include many new features (adding an alpha layer to .xpms, adding new tools to move the image around on a canvas, gradient backgrounds, mirroring an image, added rudimentary layering, brightening and dimming, added a toolbar as well as made a menu for the new commands, and added keybindings for the new commands, and more). The code went from ~400 lines to ~1800 lines. With that much changed, is a diff still the best way to submit this? I don't know what standards of coding are expected, so I expect we will need to make changes to make it acceptable to the reviewers. Where are the guidelines for submitting new code? Also, the existing xpm mode was a minor mode that required a major mode, we changed that so xpm-mode starts as a derived mode from picture mode. Will that affect how the code should be submitted?
