Hello!
I would like to contribute to clang project. From documentation on
contribution patches should be sent to cfe-commits. I wonder if
there's preferred structure for message subject and body, witch will
allow for patch to be noticed.
Thanks, Oleksandr

Welcome!
It's best to start the subject with [PATCH], and try to make the rest of
the subject fairly clear as to what the patch does. You can explain the
patch in a little bit more detail in the body of the message. When
someone commits a patch from the list, they generally use that text in
the commit message.
The biggest thing to be aware of is that people can be busy. Patches can
sometimes (and recently, too often do) sit without a response for a
while. Feel free to reply to the patch with a "ping" if nothing happens
with it for a week or so. We try to get these things reviewed as quickly
as we can, but they can sometimes be missed, or the people who are best
to review them might be busy.
Happy hacking!
