I've got an idea for a module how do I contribute it?

Post your idea on the mailing list. If you have written it already, or if you have been thinking about the API already, post the API, ideally with usage documentation, e.g., the POD that would normally go with each method, and some usage examples, e.g., what would otherwise go into the synopsis section of the module's POD.

Once you completed gathering feedback and incorporating into your module as appropriate, you either post it on bugzilla, or, if you have a developer account already, you should just commit it once you have convinced yourself that the (yours and the pre-existing) tests pass.

If you do not have a developer account yet, posting ideas, APIs, examples, and code may quickly earn you one.
