Contributing to mongo

Hi, sorry but I couldn’t find the correct category here, please let me know if there is a more appropriate one.
I wanted to contribute to mongo java drivers, but my PR says I’m not authorized. The provided link for the contribution guide also links to a removed page.

  1. How can I become a contributor?
  2. Can a new community forum for driver discussions be created?

Hi Mani - thanks for bringing this to our attention, and so excited to hear that you’d like to contribute to the MongoDB Java Drivers. We accept pull requests from the community here - submitting a pull request is the best way to contribute back to the drivers. Did you already create a PR using a new branch?

I’ve updated the forums link that you mentioned! It’s the best place to have Driver-related discussions.

Hi, Thanks for fixing the link. Yes, I have already created a PR:

Unfortunately, the guidelines don’t mention ad-hoc improvements and this PR is neither a bug fix nor a new feature, so I didn’t create an issue/ticket. Can you please take a look?
