Defects should be reported using GitHub Issues.

When submitting bugs caused by particular geometries, you must submit the geometries that cause the failure, preferably in hex-encoded WKB, so that we can re-produce the failure cases.

To contribute fixes to outstanding issues, enhancements, and other smaller changes, open a pull request with your change and a fullsome description of what you are trying to achieve.

If you have any doubts as to whether your work, or planned work, is not a “smaller” change, please join the geos-devel mailing list and describe your plans. Join the list! It is a great way to get acquainted with what the development community is working on.
